Adjusting the control
Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
Fast Freeze (on some models)
This setting causes the freezer to run continuously, driving the
freezer temperature to the coldest possible temperature. To
activate, adjust the control knob to the igloo setting, which is the
coldest setting. Use this feature just before adding large amounts
of unfrozen foods. For best food quality, do not exceed 3 pounds
per cubic foot. Return to your normal setting after 24 to 48 hours.

WARNING
Entrapment Hazard
Keep key away from children.
Failure to do so can result in death, suffocation,
or frostbite.
If your freezer is equipped with a lock, it can greatly reduce the
hazard of child entrapment.
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.

Ice Maker Operation

(on some models)
To turn the ice maker on/off:
NOTE: Do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down.
To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has a automatic shut-off. As ice is
made, the ice cubes fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes
will raise the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up) position.
To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shut-off arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
To increase 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, turn
the Temperature Control toward a higher (colder) number in half
number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to
between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn
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.
