REMEMBER:
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
■ 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.
■ 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 “Assistance or
Service” 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.
Lateral Adjustable Shelf
(on some models)
To slide the shelf from side to side, lift up on the front of shelf and
slide to the desired location. Lower shelf to the level position.
NOTE: You do not have to remove small items from the shelf
before moving it from side to side. You may need to remove larger
items.
To remove the shelf:
NOTE: The shelf is heavy and must be removed using both
hands.
1. Hold the back of the shelf with one hand.
2. Lift the front of the shelf with the other hand to a 45° angle
and lower it slightly to release it from the upper channel of the
track. Pull the shelf straight out.
To remove and replace the shelf track:
1. Remove the shelf track by lifting both sides of the track
slightly and pulling the track straight out.
2. Replace the track by guiding the track hooks into the shelf
support slots on the back wall.
NOTE: Make sure that both sets of track hooks are in the
slots and that the slots are parallel with each other.
3. Push the track back and down securely into the shelf
supports.
To replace the shelf:
NOTE: Make sure that both of the rear shelf slides are securely in
the track before letting go of the shelf. The lateral shelf may be
difficult to install if the track is placed too close to the refrigerator
ceiling. Reposition the track on a lower rung until the shelf can be
tilted enough to easily slide into the track.
1. Hold the shelf at the front and tip the front at a 45° angle to
the track.
2. Insert both of the rear shelf slides into the upper channel of
the track, and lower the front of the shelf into place.
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.
