Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket
(on some models - Accessory)
To turn the ice maker on/off:
The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shut-off arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
1.
To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.
NOTE:
Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice
cubes will raise the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up)
position.
2.
To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shut-off arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
To increase ice production rate:
■
Normal Ice Production:
In normal ice production mode, the
ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice
in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn
the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half
number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to
between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours between each increase.
■
Maximum Ice Production (on some models):
In maximum
ice production, the ice maker should produce approximately
10 to 14 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator
has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch
to MAX.
To remove and replace the ice bin:
1.
Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.
2.
Lift the wire shut-off arm so it clicks into the OFF (up)
position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can
be made.
3.
Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4.
Replace the bin
by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work. Push the wire shut-off arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is
closed tightly.
To care for ice storage bin:
1.
Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
Never use anything sharp
to break up the ice in
the bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
2.
Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
REMEMBER:
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■
Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
■
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker.
■
Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply.
Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of
the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water
supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is
operating properly and is well maintained.
■
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.
They will break apart easily.
■
Do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down.
■
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled
with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all models.

Refrigerator Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs. Your model may have glass or wire
shelves.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and

finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re-
moving them to avoid impact from dropping.
