To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
■
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin
to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from
dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment.
After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.
Ice Production Rate
NORMAL Ice Production: The ice maker should produce
■
approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24 hour period. If
ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer control
toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For
example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.)
Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer
control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each
increase.
MAXIMUM Ice Production (on some models): The ice maker
■
should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in
a 24 hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice
production feature, push the switch to MAX.
Remember
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days
■
to completely fill the ice storage bin. 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.
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.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.

Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your
individual storage needs.
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.
To remove and replace a shelf:
1. Remove items from the shelf.
2. Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.
3. Depending on your model, lift back or front of the shelf past
the stop. Slide shelf out the rest of the way.
4. Replace the shelf by sliding the back of the shelf into the track
in the wall of the cabinet.
5. Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to
slide the shelf in all the way.

Deli Drawer

To remove and replace the deli drawer:
1. Slide deli drawer out to the stop.
2. Lift front of deli drawer with one hand while supporting
bottom of drawer with other hand. Slide drawer out the rest of
the way.
3. Replace the drawer by sliding it back in fully past the drawer
stop.
NOTE: The deli drawer moves sideways on the shelf to allow
for flexible positioning.
