IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
e WARNING
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 burned2out 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 burned2out 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.
e 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, 32wire power supply cord.
The appliance requires a 32wire 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.
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.

Installation
d WARNING d
Do not install the appliance:
-outdoors,
-in an environment with dripping water,
-in rooms which are at risk of frost.
The appliance is very heavy A for empty weight see the following table:
Freezer 18" |
255 lbs / 115 kg |
Freezer 24" |
300 lbs / 135 kg |
Freezer 18" |
335 lbs / 150 kg |
Installation room
The appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventilated room.
The ambient temperature should not drop below 55 °F (13 °C) or rise above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise malfunctions may occur.
The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat source, such as an oven, radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source:
-1.2" (3 cm) from an electric cooker,
-12" (30 cm) from an oil or solid2fuel cooker.
Installation cavity
It is important to observe the specified dimensions of the installation cavity for a trouble2free installation of the appliance and for the subsequent general view of the furniture front.
In particular ensure that the cavity is square. Squareness can be checked by suitable means, e.g. spirit level, diagonal measurements, etc.
Furniture/fixtures
The new appliance will be mounted securely to adjacent and overhead furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all attachable furniture/fixtures are connected securely to the base or the wall by suitable means.
Base
To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and functions properly, the base must be flat and level.
The base must be made of hard, rigid material.
The installation area must be the same height as the rest of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance,
a load2bearing base is required. For the fully2loaded weight see the following table:

Ice and water dispenser
-Cooled water
-Ice cubes
-Crushed ice
can be dispensed as required.
d WARNING d
Do not use fragile receptacles for dispensing water or ice A risk of injury from broken glass!
Keep fingers clear of the discharge opening.
Risk of injury from crusher blades!
iThe 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.
14
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).
d CAUTION d
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 out2of2date food. All odorous foods should be wrapped thoroughly or stored in airtight containers to prevent the build2up 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.
d CAUTION d
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
qMake sure that the ice cube container is under the ice maker and has been inserted as far as possible.
qPress the ICE button on the control panel (if not yet switched on).
The ICE symbol is displayed.
When the appliance has been switched on, it takes approx.
24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are ready.
Switching off the ice maker
iThe water supply line must be shut off several hours before the appliance or ice maker is switched off.
To switch off the ice maker:
qPress the ICE button.
qRemove the ice cube container, empty and re2insert. Ensure that the ice cube container engages with the support.
