Using the 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.
Using the optional automatic ice maker
If you have an 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:

to make ice automatically.
Up . . . to shut off the ice maker.

a corner. They will break apart easily.

working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t
let these sounds bother you.

The ice maker will not operate until the freezer
is cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard
the first few batches of ice.

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 A.

to shut off the ice maker. When you return the
bin, push it in all the way and lower the signal
arm to the ON position.

away. Ice maker will make new ice. Cubes in
the ice bin can also become smaller by
evaporation.
