Turning Your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the “up” or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf in the lower position, so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the container is full.

CAUTION
•When moving the freezer, pull straight out.
Do not shift the freezer from side to side as this may tear or gouge the floor covering.
•Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces.
Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Ice Maker Tips
•Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is in its
“down” or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.
•Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
•Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position until the freezer is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.
•The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
•Motor running
•Ice loosening from tray
•Ice dropping into ice container
•Running water
•Water valve opening or closing
