Key Eject Lock

(on some models)
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 dealer for a replacement. Always
give the model and serial number of your freezer when requesting
a replacement key.

Ice Maker Operation

(on some models)
To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off
NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is
made, the ice cubes fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes
will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.
To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
To Increase Ice Production Rate
The ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of
ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn
the Temperature Control toward a higher (colder) number in half
number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to
between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn
the Temperature Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours
between each increase.
REMEMBER
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating
properly and is well maintained.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.

FREEZER FEATURES

This manual covers several different models. The freezer you
have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The
locations of the features may not match those of your model.

Refrigerated Shelves

(on some models)
Your freezer is equipped with refrigerated interior shelves.
Packages in direct contact with the shelves will have the best
refrigeration. Fresh, unfrozen food packages should be stored
directly on the shelves and not on top of already frozen food
packages.
When placing the food packages in your freezer, please
remember:
The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The
door shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly
less cold temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to
temperature (meat, poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the
door shelves or the freezer bottom.
Leave some space between the food packages so that cold
air can pass over and around them.

Storage Basket

(on some models)
The slide out basket provides separate storage space for items
that are difficult to store on freezer shelves. To remove the basket,
pull out and lift up.

Storage Gate

(on some models)
To lower and raise the storage gate:
1. Lift the top of the gate up slightly, out of the supports. Pull the
gate forward and down.
2. Return the gate to the upright position. Lift the top of the gate
slightly to clear the supports. Lower the gate into the
supports.
