too little ice
REFRIGERATOR too cold
FREEZER too cold

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

(on some models)
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid "spot" freezing and can be
set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (­2° to 0°C).
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its
optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less
cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours
between adjustments.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

Chilled Door Bin

(on some models)
Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin
directly beneath the vents.
NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated
with the Chilled Door Bin feature.
Chilled Door Bin Control
The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.

Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of cold
air to the bin and make it less cold.
Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of
cold air to the bin and make it colder.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket

(on some models - Accessory)
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
Increasing Ice Production Rate
Normal Ice Production:
In normal ice production mode, the ice maker should produce
approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice in a 24­hour 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
between each increase.
Maximum Ice Production (on some models):
In maximum ice production, the ice maker should produce
approximately 10 to 14 batches of ice in a 24­hour 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. 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.
