I have a stopover in Iceland with Iceland Air, do I have to collect and check back in my luggage?

I have a stopover in Iceland with Iceland Air, do I have to collect and check back in my luggage? - Vik i Myrdal Church Near the OceanĀ 

Iceland Air offers free stopovers in Reykjavik when flying between North America to the rest of Europe (I specifically booked a multi-city ticket with a stopover in Reykjavik). Neither on my ticket nor on their website did I see a mention of luggage collection and check in in Reykjavik. Since this is a stopover (and not a layover), I am wondering if Iceland Air stores my bag for a day (my stopover is of about 20 hours) or if I should take care of it in Reykjavik (and find some locker in the airport/in the city) while I visit the area.

So, for Iceland Air free stopover policy, is Iceland Air asking me to collect my luggage in Reykjavik airport?
