Drawer and Cover Removal
Drawers can be removed easily by grasping the sides and lifting up slightly while pulling drawers
past the stop location.
To remove the cover, lift it off its supports, pull it forward, tilt it and take it out.
Twin Drawer Shelf
To remove:
1
Remove the drawers.
2 Reach in, push the front of glass cover up,
and at the same time, pull it forward as far
as it will come.
Tilt it and take it out. Avoid cleaning the cold glass
cover with hot water because the extreme
temperature difference may cause it to break.
3 Remove the drawer frame. (Always remove
the glass cover before you take out the
drawer frame.)
Lift the frame off the supports at each side and
back, pull it forward, tilt it and take it out.
The icemaker will produce approximately
3 to 3 1/2 lbs. of ice in a 24-hour period,
depending on the freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number
of door openings and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, move the
feeler arm to the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, move the feeler arm to the ON
(down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
15°F. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to
24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Once the icemaker starts to make ice, it may take
up to 48 hours to fill the bin, depending on the
temperature settings and number of door
openings.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow
the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
feeler arm.
(on some models)
Slide the control all the way to the LOW
setting to provide lower humidity levels
recommended for most fruits.
To replace:
1
Lower the frame until it rests on the
supports at each side and back.
2 Replace the glass cover, pushing its rear
edge firmly into the rear frame channel and
gently lowering the front into place.
3 Replace the drawers.
.
(on some models)
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm,
the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale, shrink or fuse
together.
On power switch models, the green power light
will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker.
To correct this, set the power switch to O (off)
and remove the cubes. Set the power switch to I
(on) to restart the icemaker. After the icemaker
has been turned on again, there will be a delay
of about 45 minutes before the icemaker
resumes operation.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
Icemaker accessory kit:
If your refrigerator did not already come equipped
with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker
accessory kit is available at extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for the
specific icemaker kit needed for your model.
