■ 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 shutoff 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.
If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please
call the toll-free number on the cover or in the “Accessories”
section.
Refrigerator Shelves
Your model may have glass or wire shelves. Store similar foods
together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This
reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves energy.
Slide-out Shelves (on some models)
To remove and replace a shelf in a metal frame:
1. Pull the shelf forward to the stop. Tilt the front of the shelf up
and lift it slightly as you pull the shelf from the frame.
2. Replace the shelf by guiding it back into the slots on the
frame and pushing the shelf in past the stop.
Shelves and Shelf Frames
To remove and replace a shelf/frame:
1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it
out of the shelf supports.
2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf
hooks drop into the shelf supports. Check to make sure that
the shelf is securely in position.
Flip-up Shelf
(on some models)
To raise or lower the shelf:
1. Raise the shelf by pulling forward on the lever located at the
bottom front of the shelf and lift until the shelf locks into the
vertical position.
2. Lower the shelf until it is latched securely in place.
Adjustable Flip-up Shelf
(on some models)
To raise or lower the shelf:
1. Raise the shelf by first sliding it back and down to make it
half-width. (You can use the shelf in this position to allow
taller items to be stored on the shelf below.)
2. Lift the front of the shelf until it fits securely in place against
the back wall. Lower the shelf securely back into position.
3. Pull the front of the shelf forward until it fits into place.
Deli Drawer
(on some models)
The deli drawer stores raisins, nuts, spreads, and other small
items at normal refrigerator temperatures.
To remove and replace the deli drawer:
1. Remove the deli drawer by sliding it straight out to the stop.
Lift the front and slide the drawer out the rest of the way.
2. Replace the deli drawer by sliding it back past the stop.
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.
