You may want to adjust this time period depending on the types and amounts of food you typically store in your refrigerator.
Storing Food & Saving Energy ENERGY SAVING IDEAS • Locate the freezer in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the freezer next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the freezer operate more efficiently. • Level the freezer so that the door closes tightly.
Storing Food & Saving Energy • Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. • In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an upright position to prevent movement. Also protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item. POWER FAILURE / FREEZER FAILURE NO TE NOTE Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours.
Ice Service ICE SERVICE If your freezer has an automatic icemaker, it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your freezer, however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in some models at any time. Call your local dealer for information. Turning Your Ice Maker On After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened.
Ice Service Ice Maker Tips • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is in its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice. • Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated. • Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position until the freezer is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.
Care & Cleaning NO TE NOTE • Turning the freezer temperature control to "OFF" turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your freezer, you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. • Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels.
