Ice cube trays
If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The
moving cold air starts a slow evaporation. The
longer cubes are stored, the smaller they get.
To remove ice:
1. Hold tray at both ends.
2. Twist slightly.

Automatic ice maker
If you have the automatic ice maker accessory, or
if you plan to add one later (Part No. ECKMF-90),
there are a few things you will want to know:
l
The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down.. .for making ice automatically.
Up.. .to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is con-
nected to the water supply. Instructions for
ice maker water supply hook-up are
attached to the back of the refrigerator
cabinet.
_.
. The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker
changes the size of the cubes.
l
Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa-
rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity.
l
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
l
You will hear water running when ice maker is
working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let
these sounds bother you.
l
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer
is cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.
l
Because of new plumbing connections, the first
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the
first few batches of ice.
l
If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice
is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a
higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn
the Freezer Control toward C.
l
If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to
shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin,
push it all the way in and lower the arm to the ON
position.
l
If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an
off-flavor.. like stale water. Throw them away. Ice
maker will make new ice. Cubes in the ice bin
can also become smaller by evaporation.
l
Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker
be connected to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-
tioning softener can damage the ice maker mold
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water
supply cannot be avoided, then it is important
that the water softener be well maintained and
operating properly.
