To increase

ice production

rate:

•

Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum ice

production,

the ice maker should produce approximately

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.

DOORFEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that

can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled

Not all accessories will fit all models.

If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please

call the toll-free number on the cover or in the "Assistance or

Service" section.

The door rails may be removed

To remove and replace the rails:

end of the rails.

2. Locate each end of the rail above the rail's pocket opening,

and push the rail straight down until it stops.

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 Ib 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.

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable

cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.

However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent

odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.

To clean your refrigerator:

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect

power.

2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,

crispers, etc.
