LED Interior Lighting

LED interior lighting is longer-lasting and uses less energy than incandescent lighting. Plus, it casts a bright light on the contents of your refrigerator so food looks as it should.


Fast Freeze

The Fast Freeze Option helps you chill large amounts of food fast at just the push of a button. How it works: This option freezes large amounts of food fast, by driving freezer temps 10 degrees colder than the lowest setting.


Electronic Temperature Control

Convenient, up-front electronic temperature controls let you choose the ideal temperature for whatever frozen foods you're storing.


Temperature Alarm

A temperature alarm notifies you when the freezer's temperature rises to help you monitor the ideal environment for your frozen foods.


Frost-Free Defrost

Frost-free defrost automatically prevents frost build-up, so you'll never have to empty the freezer for a manual defrost again.


Optional Ice Maker Kit

Forget the ice trays. With the optional icemaker available on all Amana® top-freezer refrigerators, you can enjoy cold, refreshing beverages like smoothies and iced tea.
