CONGRATULATIONS! You are now the proud owner of a
superb, beautiful and durable addition to your kitchen. The
following information will help you get the most pleasure
from your purchase.
Using your freezer:
Meats, fish and poultry pre-packed in plastic (self-service)
wrap can be stored in the freezer for a couple of weeks.
For longer freezer storage, wrap food in foil or other vapor-
proof, moisture-proof freezer wrap. Frozen food contain-
ers should be sealed tightly. If food is wrapped in "Butcher
Paper", remove and rewrap.
For more even temperature, space food so as not to restrict
air flow, especially at rear.
Light frost may form on shelves when freezer door is open.
After the door is closed, the air stream gradually removes
the frost.
Varying amounts of frost will form occasionally in the
freezer compartment, especially in areas near the top air
return. This is normal.
If your freezer has an ice maker:
Install the freezer shelf in the third position down from the
top of the shelf ladder (see Figure 32), this will position the
ice bucket properly for operation of the ice maker.
First buckets may contain contamination from new instal-
lation. Throw away the first two harvests or until the ice is
free of discoloration and taste.
The ice maker makes ice once the freezer is cold. It will
turn off automatically when the ice bucket is full, provided
the bucket is properly positioned.
Lift the Stop Arm up out of the way when removing and
replacing the container.
CAUTION
!
Never place fingers, foreign objects or food packages near
the Ejector Blade.
Typical cycle of ice maker:
1. The ice maker fills with water.
2. When the water freezes, the motor rotates Ejector
Blade against the ice. The blade stops when it touches
the ice.
3. The heater releases the ice from the form.
4. The motor starts again. The blade moves ice from the
form into the bucket. The Ejector Blade makes two
(2) revolutions and then the ice maker fills with water
again.
USE AND CARE GUIDE
Motor-
When the bucket is full and in the proper (highest possible)
position, the Stop Arm senses the ice and stops ice making.
To stop the ice maker, whether full or not, simply raise the
Stop Arm to "up" position. To restart, lower the Stop Arm.
TIME PER CYCLE... Varies due to door openings, water
temperatures, etc.
NORMAL ICE MAKER OPERATION
•
Sounds to be expected: motor hum; creaking of the
Ejector Blade; ice dropping into the bucket; running
water; water supply valve snapping open.
•
Frost formations in area of the ice maker: Since fresh
water enters the form, frost build-up near the ice maker
occurs. This will not affect the operation of your freezer.
•
Ice in the bucket for long periods may freeze together
and acquire odors. Discard stale pieces... Your ice
maker will make more.
