tricity remains connected.
Changing the light bulbs...
Light bulbs behind refrigerator and freezer con­
trol consoles:
1 Pull control knob straight off.
2, Pull bottom of control panel straight out,
3, Lift top of panel off supports,
4, Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
5, Replace panel in reverse order.
Removing the base grille...

2. Pull grille outwards as shown.

Metal Clips
Support Tabs
To replace:
1, Line up grille support tabs with metal clips.
2, Push firmly to snap into place.
3, Close the doors.
Ice cube trays...
If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The moving
cold air starts a slow evaporation. The longer cubes
are stored, the smaller they get.
Optional automatic ice maker...
If you have the automatic ice maker accessory or
plan to add one later (Part No. ECKMF-61), there are a
few things you will want to know:
• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down...for making ice automatically;
Up.. .to shut off the ice maker.
• Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa­
rated, and to obtain increased storage oapacity,
• It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
On
• You will hear water running when ice maker is
working. You'll hear ice fall into the bin. Don't let
these sounds bother you.
To remove ice:
1, Hold tray at both ends.
2, Slightly twist.
• The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is
cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.
• Because of new plumbing connections, the first
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the
first few batches of ice.
• If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice
is needed, turn the Temperature control to a higher
number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn the Air
Control to a higher number.
• If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to
shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin,
push it all the way in and lower the arm to the ON
position.
• If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an
off-flavor...like stale water. Throw them away. They
will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can also
become smaller by evaporation.
• Good water quality is important tor good ice quality.
It is not recommended that the ice maker be con­
nected to a softened water supply. Water softener
chemicals such as salt from a malfunctioning soft­
ener can damage the ice maker mold and lead to
poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, then it is important that the water soft­
ener be well maintained and operating properly.
