IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING
m
When using this appliance, always
exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described
in this Owner's Manual.
2. This freezer must be properly
installed in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it
is used.
3. Do not allow children to climb,
stand or hang on the shelves in
the freezer. They could seriously
injure themselves and damage
the freezer.
4. After your freezer is in operation,
do not touch the cold surfaces in
the freezer compartment,
particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may adhere
to these extremely cold
surfaces.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
6. In freezers with an automatic
icemaker, avoid contact with the
moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating
element located on the bottom
of the icemaker. Do not place
fingers or hands on the
automatic icemaking
mechanism while the freezer is
plugged in.
7. Unplug your freezer before
cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
8. Before replacing a burned-out
light bulb, set the power switch
in the OFF position to turn off the
lights in order to avoid contact
with a live wire filament.
9. A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.
NOTE: Setting the freezer
temperature controls to OFF
does not remove power to the
light circuit.
10. Do not refreeze frozen foods
which have thawed completely.
m WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned refrigeration products
are still dangerous... even if they will
sit for “just a few days”. If you are
getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow these instructions to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old
refrigeration product:
– Take off the doors.
– Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb
inside.
Electrical Connection
The appliance comes with an UL
listed, 3-wire power supply cord.
The appliance requires a 3-wire
receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by
a licensed electrician only.
Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance for the
electric current.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have the
appliance checked by a qualified
electrician or service technician if you
are in doubt as to whether the
appliance has been properly
grounded.
Some local regulations may require
a separate ground. In such cases,
the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be
purchased separately.
Never ground the appliance to
plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or
water pipes.
3
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old freezer may have a cooling
system that used CFC's
(chlorofluorocarbons).
CFC's are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away an old
refrigeration product, make sure the
CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified
servicer. If you intentionally release
this CFC refrigerant, you can be
subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental
legislation.
IMPORTANT
Save these instructions for local
inspector's use. Observe all
governing codes and ordinances.
Note to installer –
Be sure to leave these instructions
with the consumer.
Note to consumer –
Keep these instructions with your

Ice and water
dispenser
– Cooled water
– Ice cubes
– Crushed ice
can be dispensed as required.
m
WARNING
Do not use fragile receptacles for
dispensing water or ice - risk of
injury from broken glass!
Keep fingers clear of the
discharge opening.
Risk of injury from crusher
blades!
The ice and water dispenser will
not function unless the
appliance is connected to the
power and water supply.
When switching on your new
appliance, observe the following:
When the appliance has been
connected, there are still air bubbles
in the lines.
Run off drinking water and pour
away until water can be dispensed
without bubbles. Pour away the first
5 glasses.
When using the ice maker for the first
time, do not use the first 30-40 ice
cubes for reasons of hygiene.
m
13
Drinking water quality
All materials used in the drinks
dispenser are odourless and
tasteless.
If the water has an aftertaste, this
may be caused by:
– Mineral and chlorine content of
the drinking water.
– Material of the domestic water
line or connection line.
– Freshness of the drinking water
(if water has not been dispensed
for a long time, the water may
have a “stale” taste. In this case
dispense approx. one gallon of
water and pour away).
CAUTION
The enclosed water filter will filter
only particles out of the supply
water, not bacteria or microbes.
Do the ice cubes have
an unusual odor?
Ice is a porous material which can
absorb odors from the environment.
Ice cubes which have been in the ice
cube container for a long time may
absorb such odors, stick together
and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that these ice cubes
are no longer used.
Other means of preventing odors:
– The ice cube container should be
cleaned occasionally with warm
water.
– Check the contents of the freezer
for spoilt or out-of-date food.
All odorous foods should be
wrapped thoroughly or stored in
airtight containers to prevent the
build-up of odors.
– The water filter may have to be
replaced in some models.
– In some cases the quality of the
water connection in the house
should be checked.
Operating the ice
maker
As soon as the freezer has cooled
down to freezing temperature, the
ice cube tray fills with water. Cold air
is blown directly over the tray.
As soon as they are frozen, the ice
cubes fall into the ice cube container.
Occasionally the ice cubes stick
together. To separate the ice cubes
again a metal rod in the ice cube
container rotates in periodical cycles
(Agitation function).
When the ice cube container is full,
ice making switches off
automatically.
The ice maker can make approx.
125 ice cubes within 24 hours.
CAUTION
Do not place any bottles or food
for rapid cooling in the ice cube
container. The ice maker may
become blocked and be
damaged.
Switching on the ice
maker
Make sure that the ice cube
container is under the ice maker
and has been inserted as far as
possible.
Press the ice button on the
