Ice
Trays
(on
models
so
equipped)
/
Ice trays are designed to release
ice cubes easily. Hold the tray
upside-down over a container and
twist both ends to release cubes.
/
/F-
For only one or two ice cubes,
leave the tray right-side
up,
twist
both ends slightly
and
remove the
number of cubes you want.
Wash ice trays in lukewarm
water only.
Do
not
put
them
in
an automatic dishwasher.
Automatic Icemaker
(on
models
so
equipped)
Your icemaker will produce eight
cubes per cycle-approximately
100
cubes
in
a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other
use conditions.
If
your refrigerator is operated
before water connection is made
to the icemaker, keep the icemaker
feeler arm
in
the OFF
(up)
position
as shown below.

Ice cube mold will automatically
fill
with water after cooling to
freezing temperature, and first
cubes will normally freeze after
several hours. When cubes are
solidly frozen, they
will
be ejected
from the mold into the ice storage
bin by means of a sweeper arm.
Icemaking will continue
until
the
feeler arm senses a sufficient
accumulation of ice cubes
in
the
storage bin and halts the operation
temporarily. For maximum ice
storage, level the stored cubes
with
your hand occasionally. Be sure
nothing interferes
with
the swing
of
the feeler arm.
The icemaker ejects cubes
in
groups of eight and
it
is normal for
several cubes to be joined together.
Once your icemaker is in
operation, throw away the first
few batches of ice cubes. This
will
flush away any impurities
in
the
water line.
Do
the same thing after
0
vacations or extended periods when
ice isn’t used.
Caution:
Under certain
rare
circumstances, ice cubes may
be
discolored,
usually
appearing
with a green-bluish hue. The
cause
of
this
unusual
discoloration
is
apparently due
to
a combination
of
factors such as certain
characteristics of
local
waters,
household plumbing and the
accumulation
of
copper
salts
in
an
inactive water supply line
which feeds the icemaker.
Continued consumption
of
such
discolored
ice
cubes may be
injurious to health.
If
such
discoloration
is
observed,
discard the ice cubes and
