Ice Maker

(on some models - Accessory)

To turn the ice maker on/off:

The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shut-off arm located on the side of the ice maker.

1.To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up) position.

2.To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

MAX

NORMAL

To increase ice production rate:

Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, the ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum ice production, the ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to MAX.

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.

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 force the wire shut-off arm up or down.

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all models. If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please call the toll-free number on the cover or in the "Assistance or Service" section.

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 re- moving them to avoid impact from dropping.

Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have glass or wire shelves.

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.

Slide-out Shelves (on some models)

To slide out shelf, carefully pull front of shelf toward you.

To slide in shelf, push shelf in until it stops.

To remove and replace a shelf in a metal frame:

1.Pull the shelf forward to the stop.

2.Tilt the front of the shelf up and lift it slightly as you pull the shelf from the frame.

3.Replace the shelf by guiding it back into the slots on the frame and pushing the shelf in past the stop.

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.

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