REFRIGERATOR USE

Frost Free

Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically

Warm Cabinet Surfaces

At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm

to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that helps prevent

moisture from condensing on the cabinet. The condition will

be more noticeable when you rst start the refrigerator,

during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door

openings.

Icemaker (on some models)

Turning the Icemaker On/O

NOTE:

Do not force the wire shuto arm up or down.

• To turn the icemaker on, simply lower the wire shuto

arm.

NOTE:

Your icemaker has an automatic shuto. As ice is

made, the ice cubes will ll the ice storage bin and the

ice cubes will raise the wire shuto arm to the OFF (arm

up) position.

• To manually turn the icemaker o, lift the wire shuto

arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click

to make sure the icemaker will not continue to operate.

NOTE:

Turn the icemaker o 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 icemaker and into

the freezer compartment. After replacing the ice storage

bin, turn on the icemaker.

Ice Production Rate

• The icemaker 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 steps. Wait 24 hours and,

if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer control to the

highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

Remember

• The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches a

temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below. It will then begin

operation automatically.

• In conditions of lower water pressure or rst water

supply, the water valve may turn on up to 3 times to

deliver enough water to the icemaker.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice. Allow

3 days to completely ll the ice storage bin. Discard the

rst three batches of ice produced.

• The quality of your ice will be only as good as the

quality of the water supplied to your icemaker. Avoid

connecting the icemaker to a softened water supply.

Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage

parts of the icemaker 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 icemaker or in the

ice storage bin.
