Ice Maker 

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: 

Do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down. 

To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.

NOTE: 

Your ice maker has an automatic shut-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.
To manually turn the ice maker 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. 

NOTE:

 Turn the ice maker off 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.

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.

Crisper 

Crisper Drawers

To remove and replace the crisper drawer:
1.

Slide the crisper drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front 

and slide the drawer out the rest of the way. 

2.

Replace the drawer by sliding the drawer in fully past the stop.

Crisper Cover

To remove and replace the crisper cover:
1.

Remove the crisper(s).

2.

Pull the glass straight out.

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.
