If cubes are stored too long, they may develop
an off-flavor...like stale water. Throw them away.
They will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can
also become smaller by evaporation.
Ice cube trays...
If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The mov-
ing cold air starts a slow evaporation. The longer
cubes are stored, the smaller they get.
l
Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker
be connected to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-
tioning softener can damage the ice maker
mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened
water supply cannot be avoided, then it is impor-
tant that the water softener be well maintained
and operating properly.
To remove ice:

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't.
Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them.
Don't be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor,
walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.
The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to
you, and what may be making them.
Probable Causes:
You may hear the refrigerator's fan motor and moving air.
The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator
stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts.
The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts and stops,
When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the
tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost
water running into the defrost water pan.
If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing [from
the water valve], trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped
into the bin.
Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor.
It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most
of the time.
