About crisper removal.
Not all features are on all models.
Crisper Removal
To Remove:
These drawers can be removed easily by
lifting up slightly while pulling the drawer
past the stop location.
When the door cannot be fully opened,
remove the drawer farthest from the door
first. Make sure the drawer closest to the
door is fully closed. There is a latch at the
front of the center slide rail. Push down on
the latch and slide the center slide rail, to
which the drawer is attached, away from
the door. Remove the drawer.
About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already
equipped with an automatic icemaker,
an icemaker accessory kit is available at
extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for
the specific icemaker kit needed for
your model.
Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
The icemaker will produce seven or eight
cubes (depending on model) per cycle—
approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour
period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number
of door openings and other use conditions.
There are two types of icemakers: power
switch models and feeler arm models.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch to O (off) or move the
feeler arm to the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the I (on) position or move the feeler arm to
the ON (down) position. On power switch
models, the green light will come on.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to approximately 15°F. A newly-
installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
On power switch models, the green power
light will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the
icemaker. To correct this, set the power
switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set
the power switch to I (on) to restart the
icemaker. After the icemaker has been
turned on again, there will be a delay of
about 45 minutes before the icemaker
resumes operation.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
