Ice Service
The freezer compartment is equipped with ice cube
trays and an ice storage bin. The bin stacks on top of the
stacked ice cube trays. To release the ice cubes from a
tray, hold the tray upside down over the bin and twist
both ends.
The refrigerator is automatic ice maker ready. The
number for the ice maker kit needed appears on the data
plate (see front cover).

Adjustable ice Level (select models)
Some factory installed ice makers are equipped with a
sensor arm to adjust the amount of ice in your ice storage
tray for times when less ice is needed.
To adjust the amount of ice produced: Push the plastic
sensor arm inward and rotate to the desired capacity.

supply piping.
When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several
cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily
be broken apart. The ice maker will continue to make ice
until the supply of ice cubes raises the wire lever ann,
shutting the ice maker off.
To manually stop the operation of the ice maker, move
the wire lever arm into the up (off) position.
Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the
ice maker.
• buzzing of the water valve
• running of the water as the tray fills
• rattling of the ice cubes falling into an empty ice bin.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become
cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the
ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm
water. Be sure to dry the bin before replacing it.
To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift
open the door on the ice bin.
To remove the bin, first turn off the ice maker. This is
done by opening the door on the ice bin and moving the
ice maker wire lever up to the "off" position. Then reach
under the bin front and pull down on the back edge. After
it snaps free, pull the bin straight forward. To replace the
ice bin, align the bottom rails to the corresponding shelf
grooves and push it straight back until it stops and
latches. Make sure the tabs at the back of the bin that
turn the spiral auger are positioned between the prongs
from the auger motor. Turn the ice maker on by low-
ering the wire arm.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the
wire lever ann, causing the ice maker to malfunction.
