To turn the ice maker on/off: (Style 2)
The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1. To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. The ice
maker sensors will automatically stop ice production but the
control will remain in the ON (left) position.
2. To manually turn the icemaker off, slide the control to the OFF
(right) position.
To remove and replace ice bucket:
1. Place four fingers in bucket base opening and rest thumb on
the release button.
2. Holding the base of the bucket with both hands, depress the
release button and lift the bucket up and out. It is not
necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right)
position. The ice maker will not produce ice without the
bucket installed in the door.
■ Normal Ice Production should produce approximately 7 to 9
batches of ice in a 24-hour period.
To care for ice storage bin or bucket:
1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in
the bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container
and the dispenser mechanism.
2. Wash ice bin or bucket 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.
■ For Style 1, do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down.
■ Do not store anything on top or in the ice maker or ice bin or
bucket.
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 “Assistance or
Service” section.
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
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.
Slide-out Shelves (on some models)
■ To slide out shelf, carefully pull front of shelf toward you.
■ To slide in shelf, push shelf in until it stops.
To remove and replace a shelf in a metal frame:
1. Pull the shelf forward to the stop.
2. Tilt the front of the shelf up and lift it slightly as you pull the
shelf from the frame.
3. 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.
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.
