IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

m

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 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.

4

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 –

WARNING

m

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!

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).

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.

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

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

The water supply line must be

shut off several hours before the

appliance or ice maker is

switched off.

To switch off the ice maker:

 Press the ice button.
