Using Your Ice Cube Trays
Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is between position 4 and maximum.
Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liquid suitable for freezing and place
the tray on the bottom of the freezer to freeze properly.
Dry the bottom of the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the freezer.
The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap water for a second.
To eject the ice cubes from the trays, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Appliance
Turn the temperature control to “OFF”, unplug the appliance, and remove the food, shelves, and trays.
Wash the inside with a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
The outside of the appliance should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Maintenance of Your Appliance
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a
longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacation Time
During long absences, remove all the food; unplug your appliance, clean your appliance, and leave
the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Moving Your Appliance
Remove all the food.
Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance.
Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut.
Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance
forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This
