If you have the automatic ice maker accessory or
plan to add one later (Part No. ECKMF-83). there are a
few things you will want to know:
l
The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down...for making ice automatically;
Up...toshut off the ice maker.
l
Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa-
rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity.
l
If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to
shut off the ice maker. When vou return the brn.
push it all the way in and lower'the arm to the ON
positron.
l
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

l
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
l
You will hear water running when ice maker is
working. You'll hear ice fall into the bin. Don't let
these sounds bother you.
l
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is
cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.
l
Because of new plumbing connections, the frrst
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the
first few batches of ice.
l
If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice
is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a
higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn
the Freezer Control toward A.
Posslbli S&n&: -
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.

Energy saving tips.. .
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.
l
Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cab-
inet to be sure of a good seal.
l
Clean the condenser coil regularly.
l
Open the door as few times as possible. Think
about what you need before you open the door.
Get everything out at one time. Keep foods orga-
nized so you won't have to search for what you
want. Close door as soon as food is removed.
l
Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don't
overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.
l
It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and
freezer to temperatures colder than they need to
be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are
as cold as your family likes them, that's cold
enough.
l
Keep the Power Saving Control on CONSUMES
LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator
exterior.
l
Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace,
radiator, or in direct sunlight.
