Temperature Alarm (on some models)

The alarm is controlled by a three-position switch.

The proper setting for normal freezer use. The alarm

 

is on, and the amber light will be illuminated.

0Keeps the alarm from sounding when the freezer is warm, such as during start-up or defrosting.

Tests the alarm regardless of temperature.

Indicator Light

(on somemodels)

The indicator light assures you that your freezer is running. If the indicator light is not glowing, immediately check for:

Power interruption.

An unplugged power cord.

An open circuit breaker or blown fuse.

A burned out indicator light.

Key Eject Lock

(on somemodels)

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

(on somemodels)

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, 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 somemodels)

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.
