USING YOUR FREEZER
Using the drain system (on some models)
The freezer’s drain system consists of:
• drain cap and sleeve (at the liner and cabinet
bottom); and
• drain hose.
The drain hose carries defrost water out of the
freezer, and through the area behind the base
grille, into a customer provided pan for dis-
posal.
NOTE: The drain cap must be removed before
defrosting the freezer, and replaced securely
afterward.
Changing the light bulb (on some models)
!!!INSERT WARNING HERE!!!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before removing the light bulb, either turn
Temperature Control to OFF and unplug the
freezer, or disconnect the electricity leading
to the freezer at the main power supply.
Shock and injury can occur if electricity
remains connected.
To replace interior light:
1. Turn Temperature Control to OFF and
disconnect freezer from power supply.
NOTE: Turning Temperature Control to OFF
does not disconnect power to the freezer.
2. Remove the light shield by squeezing sides
slightly and pulling out.
3. Replace bulb with 15-watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace light shield. Insert back tabs into
slots and squeeze shield slightly to insert
front tabs into slots.
5. Reconnect freezer to power supply and refer to
“Setting the temperature control” on page 7.
Using the key eject lock (on some models)
If your freezer is equipped with a lock, it can
help reduce the hazard of child entrapment.
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold
the key in the lock while turning. The lock is
spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the
lock.
If the key is lost, contact your Whirlpool
dealer for a replacement. Always give the
complete model and serial number of your
freezer when requesting a replacement key.
