Door Ajar Alarm (on some models)
The Door Ajar alarm lets you know when the freezer door has been
open for 5 minutes or longer and the cooling is turned on. This alarm
feature will sound an alert tone that will repeat every 2 minutes. Close
the door to turn off the tone. The feature is reset and will reactivate
when the door is again left open for 5 minutes.
NOTE: To mute the alert tone while keeping the door open, such as
while cleaning the inside of the freezer, press TEMP SETTING button
on the control panel. The alert tone will be temporarily turned off.
Ice Maker
(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.
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, press the TEMP
SETTING button to display the next colder setting. Wait 24 hours and, if
necessary, set 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.
Freezer Shelves
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different
heights. This reduces the time the freezer door is open and saves
energy.
To Remove and Replace a Shelf:
1. Remove the shelf by lifting straight up, and pulling the shelf out.
2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the
side wall.
Door Bin
To Remove and Replace the Bin:
1. Remove the bin by tipping the front of the bin forward and sliding
out.
2. Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support tilting it
back into place.
Storage Basket
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.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
