Removing the pull-out freezer floor
The freezer floor pulls out for easier access to foods in
the back of the freezer and for easier cleaning.
To remove the freezer floor:
1. Remove all food items from freezer floor.
2. Pull floor out about 1 inch (2.5 cm) with one hand
around the air tower section (center back) and one
hand at center front.
3. Lift floor up at rear until hooks release from cabinet.
4. Pull floor out the rest of the way.
To replace the freezer floor:
1. Position back of floor into freezer opening.
2. Slide floor straight in until hooks drop into place at
rear of cabinet.
3. Replace “fences" by aligning pins with sockets in the
floor. Push down until they snap into place.

Using the optional automatic ice maker
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, or if you
plan to add one later (contact the dealer for ice maker
kit number), here are a few things you should know.
• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm. Move arm:
DOWN to make ice automatically
UP to shut off the ice maker
IMPORTANT: Do not turn ice maker on until you
connect it to the water supply.
• If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut
off the ice maker. When you replace the bin, push it in
all the way and lower the ice maker signal arm to the
ON position.
• Good water quality is important for good ice quality.
Try to avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened
water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt
from a malfunctioning softener) can damage the ice
maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If you cannot
avoid a softened water supply, make sure the water
softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

Solving common ice maker problems
PROBLEM POSSiBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Ice crescents attached
at corners • This is normal. They break apart easily. Shake bin occasionally to keep cubes
separated.
Ice maker will not
operate or ice is not
made fast enough • ON/OFF lever is in the OFF (up) position. Lower lever to the ON (down) position.
• Freezer is not cold enough. Adjust temperature controls and wait 24 hours.
(See “Changing the control settings” on page 6.)
Off-taste or odor in ice • New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice. Discard the
first few batches of ice.
• Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a new supply.
• Food is not wrapped properly. See page 19.
• Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. See page 17.
• Water may contain minerals (such as sulfur). A filter may be required to remove
them.
