NOTE: The ice maker will not make ice until the freezer is cold
enough. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first three batches of ice produced.
To turn the ice maker off:
■ Automatic turn off: As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the
ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the wire shut-off
arm to the OFF (arm up) position.
■ Manual turn off: Lift the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up)
position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker
will not continue to operate.
To increase ice production rate:
■ Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum ice
production, 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.
■ Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, 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.
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.
■ Do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down.
■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Freezer Shelf
(on some models)
To remove the shelf:
1. Lift entire shelf slightly.
2. Move shelf all the way to one side.
3. Tilt other side up and out of shelf supports.
4. Pull shelf up and out
To replace the shelf:
1. Tilt the shelf and insert into freezer compartment.
2. Insert one end of the shelf all the way into the center of the
shelf supports.
3. Lower other end of shelf and insert into the shelf supports.
4. Lower shelf into place.
NOTE: The shelf should lower slightly and lock into place. If the
shelf does not appear stable, make sure both ends of the shelf
are inserted into the shelf supports.
Frozen food storage guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package
or container securely to prevent taste and odor transfer
throughout the product. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are
normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air
inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2-3 lb of food per cubic foot [907-1,350 g
per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air
to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room
for the door to close tightly.
NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing,
check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

the floor out the rest of the way.
