Do not use:

■ Non-polyethylene plastic containers
■ Containers without tight lids
■ Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
■ Thin, semi-permeable wrap
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of
food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will
freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per
cubic foot [907-1,350 g per liter] of freezer space). Leave
enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around
packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so
the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of
food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals
inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means
that moisture in the food and air inside the package have
condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30
minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods
before freezing saves energy.

FEATURES
Ice Maker Storage Bin
To remove the ice bin:
1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then
slide it back toward the rear.
2. Lift the signal arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4. Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up the
ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the bin and
the dispenser mechanism.
5. Wash with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or
solvents.
6. When you replace the bin, make sure it is pushed in
all the way or the dispenser will not work. Then push
the signal arm down to the ON position to restart ice
production. Make sure the door is closed tightly.
