FREEZER FEATURES Your model may have some or all of these features. Important information to know about glass shelves and covers: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping. Glass Freezer Shelf To remove and replace a glass shelf: 1. Lift the front of the shelf to raise the shelf tabs up and out of the opening in each shelf track. Slide the shelf out the rest of the way. 2. Replace the shelf by tilting the back end downward to align the back shelf tab under the track on each side of the freezer. Gently push the shelf into the freezer until the two center shelf tabs are positioned within the opening in each track. Lower the shelf to rest on the shelf tracks. DOOR FEATURES Your model may have some or all of these features. Door Rails The door rails may be removed for easier cleaning. Snap-on Door Rails To remove and replace the rails: 1. Depending on your model, remove the rails by pushing in slightly on the front of the bracket while pulling out on the inside tab. Repeat these steps for the other end. 2. Replace the rails by aligning the ends of the brackets with the buttons on the sides of the door liner. Firmly snap bracket and assembly onto the tabs above the shelf, as shown. Door Bins To remove and replace the bins: 1. Remove the bin by lifting it and pulling it straight out. 2. Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support and pushing it down until it stops. Utility Compartment The utility compartment may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove and replace the utility compartment: 1. Remove the utility compartment by squeezing against one side while raising the utility compartment up and pulling it straight out. 2. Replace the utility compartment by positioning one side in the lock and sliding in the opposite side until it stops. Frozen Food Storage Guide Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout the product. 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. 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 to 1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door must close tightly. NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook. 14
