ICE PRODUCTION
The level of ice in the ice container is con-
trolled by an ice level arm. When the con- tainers are filled with ice, the ice level arm
senses the level and shuts down the ice- maker. As ice is used, the level drops and the level arm signals the icemaker to restore ice production.
These icemakers are designed to produce a more than adequate supply of ice for normal family consumption, the length of time between ice harvest cycles will vary depending on load conditions, door open- ings and ambient room temperatures. On the average, you can expect a harvest of ice every two hours.
If ice is not used regularly, it will tend to fuse together. To avoid this, empty the ice container periodically.
NOTE: To shut off icemaker, lift up icemaker stop arm to the up or off position (see Figure 1 below).
MAINTENANCE

parts, wash with a mild solution of soap and water to which a sma'r_amountof bak-

To insure proper performance, the clean- ing o; your unit'scondenser is required.
IMPORTANT!! This should be performed every 3 to 6 months under normal use and living conditions.
i
To expose the condenser, remove the kickplate at the base of the unit. To do this simply remove the screws located at each corner of the kickplate.
Once the condenser is exposed, use a "soft" bristle brush and vacuum hose to
remove the accumulation of dust and lint par- ticles on the condenser (see Figure 2 below).
IMPORTANT!! Failure to properly clean this area could result in temperature lost and/or possible mechanical failure of the refrigerator and/or freezer.
