Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove Packaging Materials

• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the
freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive
with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:

Dispose of freezer in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or
abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can
damage the surface of your freezer. For more information, see
"Safety."

When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for

cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard
or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from freezer.

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

Ventilation and Clearance

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from

freezer.
Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets,

tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides

of the freezer and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and
the wall. If the freezer is to be next to a fixed wall, leave extra space
on the hinge side so the door can open wider.

Temperature
Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where

the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your freezer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below this recommended
temperature.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important to
make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off
by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing
a light bulb, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off
cooling, and then disconnect the freezer from the electrical source.

Wate Supp)y IIAequi ements (on some mode s)

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read
and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Tools Needed

• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1/4"nut driver

• 7/le"and 1/2"open-end or • 1/4"drill bit
2 adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill

NOTE: Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"(6.35 mm)
saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and plastic tubing. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local
plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/le"(4.76 mm) saddle
valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the freezer on before the water line is connected, turn
the ice maker off.

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use plastic tubing and check for leaks. Install plastic tubing only
in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi
(207 to 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice

maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see "Problem
Solver" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold
water supply, the water pressure to the system needs to be a minimum

of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to

60 psi (276 to 414 kPa), a booster pump can be inserted into the small
tubing that goes from the cold water line to the reverse osmosis system.

If the water dispenser is still not dispensing water properly:

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis
system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after
heavy usage.

• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water
pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.

Remove the water filter.

If you have questions about your water pressure, refer to "Problem
Solver" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

4. Determine the length of plastic tubing you need. Measure from the
connection on the lower left rear of freezer to the water pipe. Add
7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside
diameter) plastic tubing. Be sure both ends of plastic tubing are cut

square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water
pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.
Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole in
the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and
evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or
you may crush the plastic tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the plastic
tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end
squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end
with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn on
the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn
off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the plastic tubing.

Connect to Freezer

1. Attach the plastic tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut
and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten.

2. Use the tube clamp on the back of the freezer to fasten the tubing
to the freezer as shown. This will help avoid damage to the tubing
when the freezer is pushed back against the wall.

3. Turn shutoff valve on.

4. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at
the valve) or nuts that leak.

Style 1--without Grille

1. Locate the 2 front leveling legs taped among the packing materials.

2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the freezer.
The back of the freezer rests on 2 fixed supports.

3. Adjust the front legs enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.

4. Place a leveling tool on top of the freezer first side to side, then
front to back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg

clockwise to lower a corner.

5. Repeat Step 4 until freezer is level.

6. After freezer is fully loaded with food, recheck with level as in
Step 4.

Style 2--with Grille

Your freezer has 2 front adjustable legs i one on each side. The back
of the freezer rests on 2 fixed rollers. The base grille covers
the adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies located at the bottom of
the freezer below the freezer door. Before making any adjustments,
remove the base grille and move the freezer to its final location.

Tools Needed: 1/4"hex driver, Phillips head screwdriver

1. Remove the base grille screws. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you. Open the freezer door to access the brake feet.

NOTE:Toallowthefreezertorollmoreeasily,raisethebrakefeet

2,

Move the freezer to its final location.

3.

Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the rollers
are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor.
This keeps the freezer from rolling forward when you are opening

the freezer door.
IMPORTANT: Ifyou need to make further adjustments involving the

brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep
the freezer level.

4,

Make sure the door closes easily. If you are satisfied with the door
opening and closing, skip the next section. If, however, the door
does not close easily or the door pops open, adjust the tilt.

To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the freezer takes some
weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.

• Open the freezer door. Use a 1/4"hex driver to turn both brake feet
clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the freezer. It

may take several turns to allow the door to close more easily.

A. Brake foot
B. Front roller

5. Make sure the freezer is steady. Ifthe freezer seems unsteady or
rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the brake feet.

To Steady the Refrigerator:

• Open the freezer door. Using a 1/4"hex driver, turn both brake

feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are snug
against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to adjust
the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the freezer does

not roll forward when the door is opened.

6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the
leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into
place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.

In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the freezer. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters from

the freezer wall and moves down. The air then recirculates through
the vent near the bottom.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are
blocked, airflow will be restricted, and temperature and moisture
problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or
cover foods tightly.

cold) to the snowflake on the right (coldest).

Key IEieot Look (on sore÷ it"node,s)

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.

NOTE: Keep the key out of the reach of children. Do not keep the key
close to the freezer/refrigerator.

Ill)coMaker (on some mode_s)

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.

Over Temperature Alert (on some models)

The Over Temperature Alert lets you know if the freezer temperature
has risen to 19°F (-7°C) or higher. This alert feature will sound a

continuous alert tone and repeatedly flash a red light on the control
panel. The tone can be turned off by pressing the TEMP SETTING

button on the control panel once. As you press the TEMP SETTING
button, the red light will then also change from flashing to continuously

illuminated. The red light will remain illuminated until the freezer
temperature falls below 19°F (-7°C).

NOTE: If the red light on the control panel is repeatedly flashing, but the
alert tone is not sounding, this means that an over temperature
condition has occurred but the freezer temperature has since returned
to below 19°F (-7°C). To turn off the red light indicator for this condition,
press the TEMP SETTING button on the control panel once.

Door Ajar Alarm (on some models)

The Door Ajar alarm lets you know when the freezer door has been
open for 5 minutes or longer and the cooling is turned on. This alarm
feature will sound an alert tone that will repeat every 2 minutes. Close

the door to turn off the tone. The feature is reset and will reactivate
when the door is again left open for 5 minutes.

NOTE: To mute the alert tone while keeping the door open, such as
while cleaning the inside of the freezer, press TEMP SETTING button
on the control panel. The alert tone will be temporarily turned off.

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, press the TEMP
SETTING button to display the next colder setting. Wait 24 hours and, if
necessary, set 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.

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. Press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off cooling.

2. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

3. 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.

2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the
side wall.

4.

Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, bins,
etc.

5.

Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces
thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in 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.

• To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to

0.95 L] of water).

6.

Replace the removable parts.

7.

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
