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.

Shelves

Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves energy.

To remove and replace a shelf:

1.Remove the shelf by pulling it forward slightly to align the shelf stops with the openings in the refrigerator compartment liner. Lift straight up, and pull the shelf out the rest of the way.

2.Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf stops through the openings in the refrigerator compartment liner. Slide the shelf in the rest of the way.

Door Bin

To remove and replace the bin:

1.Remove the bin by tipping the front of the bin up and sliding out.

2.Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support tilting it back into place.

StorageBin

(on somemodels)

The slide out bin provides separate storage space for items that are difficult to store on freezer shelves.

To extend the bin fully, lift up and slide forward. To remove the basket slide out.

FREEZER CARE

Cleaning Your Frost-Free Freezer

(somemodels)

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Frost-free means that you will not have to defrost your freezer. Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically warms up enough to melt the frost, and it then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is evaporated.

Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.

1.Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

2.Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen for several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler, additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.

3.Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm water or 2 tbs (26 mg) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm water.

Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

4.Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

5.Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.

Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Stainless steel finish: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

6.Replace all frozen food.

7.Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
