Ice Storage Bin Care

1.Remove ice bin. See “Pull-out Freezer and Ice bin.”

2.Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.

NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

3.Wash ice bin with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

REMEMBER:

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

■Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be flushed out of the system.

■It may take 3 to 4 days for the ice bin to completely fill, if no ice is used.

■The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker.

■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. They will break apart easily.

■Do not store anything inside the ice bin.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Refrigerator Shelves

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. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To Remove and replace a Shelf/Frame:

1.Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.

2.Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

3.Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the shelf is securely in position.
