Understanding the Freezer Alarm Feature
The freezer alarm on a Amana chest freezer is a critical tool that alerts you to conditions that could compromise your food storage. By providing timely notifications, the freezer temperature alarm allows you to take immediate action to prevent spoilage. Common freezer alarms include high-temperature alarms, which trigger when temperatures exceed a set threshold, and power failure alarms, activated during unexpected power loss. Staying informed through these alerts ensures your stored items remain fresh, extending their longevity and preserving your investment in quality food.
How to Set and Adjust the Freezer Alarm Temp
Setting and adjusting the freezer alarm temp on your Amana chest freezer is straightforward, ensuring your food stays at the optimal temperature. The temperature alarm, located below the temperature control, sounds an audible buzzing alarm if the freezer temperature reaches 10°F (-12°C) or more above the normal setting for your selected temperature. A 3-position switch controls the alarm. Follow these steps:
- Press the switch to the right to test the Alarm.
- Press the switch to the left to turn the alarm feature "On".
- Move the switch to the Center to turn the alarm "Off".
