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.
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.

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. 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
[907-1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave
enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.

Replace the basket by positioning it on the side wall guide
rails. Lift the basket front slightly while pushing it past the
