If your freezer has an automatic icemaker, it will
provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use.
During the initial startup of your freezer, however,
no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours
of operation.

Automatic ice makers are also optional
accessories that may be installed in some models
at any time. Call your local dealer for information.

Turning

Your Ice Maker On

After the plumbing connections have been
completed, the water supply valve must be
opened. Place the ice container under the ice
maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower
the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position.
New plumbing connections may cause the first
production of ice cubes to be discolored or
have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be

..........
Container

discarded until the cubes produced are free of
discoloration and taste.

Turning Your Ice Haker Off
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until
it clicks and locks in the "up" or OFF position. The
ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model has an adjustable
freezer shelf, place the shelf in the lower position,
so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when
the container is full.

Ice Maker Tips
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long
period of time, turn the water supply valve
to the closed position.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an
odd flavor. Empty the ice container and
ensure that the wire signal arm is in its
"down" or ON position. The ice maker will
then produce more ice.
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep
ice separated.
Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF
position until the freezer is connected to the
water supply or whenever the water supply
is turned off.
,, The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
Motor running
Ice loosening from tray
Ice dropping into ice container
Running water
Water valve opening or closing

Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal
arm in the ON position. To ensure proper
function of your ice maker, hook up water
supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by
lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and
locks in the UP position.
Check the leveling bracket on the ice maker to
ensure the ice maker is level. If the gap between
the freezer wall and the ice maker is the same
at top and bottom, then ice maker is level. If
the ice maker is not level, loosen the screw and
slide the bracket to the correct position to make
it level. Retighten the screw. You will need a 1/4
inch socket wrench for this task.

DO NOT place the ice container in dishwasher.
Wash the ice container in warm water with
mild detergent.

Rinse well and dry.

Stop the ice maker when cleaning the
freezer and during vacations.

items that do not store well on the shelves.

Meat

To remove

Wrap raw meat and poultry securely so leakage
and contamination of other foods or surfaces
does not occur.

the Mid Level and

Tall Lower Basket:
Pull the basket to be removed out until the slide
is fully extended. Pull the basket upwards to
release the basket from the retaining clips on the
basket glides.

Adjustable

Two=Liter

Door Bins

This model is equipped with adjustable door bins
that can be moved to suit individual needs.
To Move Door Bins:
* Lift the bin straight

up.

* Remove the bin.
* Place the bin in desired position.
* Lower the bin onto supports until locked
in place.

* Locate the
appliance in the
coolest part of the
room, out of direct
sunlight, and away
from heating ducts
or registers. Do not
place the unit next
to heat-producing
appliances such as a range, oven, or
dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section
of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation
between the two appliances will help the
unit operate more efficiently.
* Level unit so that the door closes tightly.
Refer to the "SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL" section for the suggested
temperature control settings.
* Do not overcrowd the appliance or block
cold air vents. Doing so causes the unit to
run longer and use more energy.
* Cover foods and wipe containers dry before
placing them in the appliance. This cuts
down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
* Organize the appliance to reduce door
openings. Remove as many items as needed
at one time and close the door as soon
as possible.

Keep your appliance clean to prevent odor buildup. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean at
least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring
pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong
alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash
any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always
unplug the electrical power.

• When moving the unit, pull straight
out. Do not shift the appliance
from
side to side as this may tear or gouge
the floor covering.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. Do not touch interior metal

surfaces

hands.
Vacation

and Moving

Tips

Short Vacations:
* Leave the unit operating during vacations of
less than three weeks.
Long Vacations:
If the appliance will not be used for
several months:
,, Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
* Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Leave the door open slightly, blocking it open
if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving:
When moving the unit, follow these
guidelines to prevent damage:
* Disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet.
* Remove foods, then defrost, and clean
the appliance.
Secure all loose items such as base panel,
baskets, and shelves by taping them
securely in place to prevent damage.
In the moving vehicle, secure unit in an
upright position to prevent movement.
Also protect outside of the appliance with a
blanket, or similar item.

• Turning
thetemperature
control
to"OFF"
(See
ELECTRONIC
CONTROL

section) turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the lights or other electrical components. Unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the off position.

• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface
when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture
of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you
have already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
