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.

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.

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.

Never place fingers, foreign objects or food packages near 

the Ejector Blade.

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.

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.

Position shelf tang in 

third slot down from
