refrigerator so the doors open the other

included with your refrigerator.
Ice cube trays
Remove ice by slightly twisting the tray
with both hands.
NOTE: The longer ice cubes are stored,
the smaller they get. Slow evaporation is
caused by the movement of cold air.
Optional automatic ice maker
If you have the automatic ice maker
accessory (Part No. ECKMF-90) or if you

things you will want to know:

Connect the ice maker to the water
supply before tumlng it on.
The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal
arm. Lower signal arm to make ice.
Raise signal arm to turn off the ice
maker.
Freezer must be cold enough for the
ice maker to work. This may take
eight hours or more before the
correct temperature is reached
“First” ice may be discolored or off-
flavored because of new plumbing
connections. Throw away first few
batches of ice.
Change ice cube size with the dial
or lever on the side of the ice maker.
Ice crescents are normally attached
at the comer. They break apart
easily.
Normal
sounds include water
tuning when the ice maker is
working and the thud of ice as it
falls into the bin.
If ice is not being made fast enough
and more ice is needed, turn the
Refrigerator Control to a higher
number. Wait 24 hours, and if this
does not increase the ice supply,
turn the Freezer Control to C.
Raise the signal arm before you
remove the ice bin. When you
replace the bin, push it in all the
way. Then lower the arm to the ON
position.
Cubes left in the bin for long
periods of time may develop an off-
flavor, like stale water. Throw old
cubes away. Ice maker will make
new ice. Cubes may also become
smaller if stored for a long time.
Good water quality is important for
good ice quality. It is not recom-
mended that you connect the ice
maker to a softened water supply. If
a softened water supply cannot be
avoided, it is important to maintain
the water softener so it operates
properly. Water softener chemicals,
such as salt from a malfunctioning
softener, can damage the ice maker
mold and lead to poor ice quality.
