Drawer and Cover Removal
Drawers can be removed easily by grasping
the sides and lifting up slightly while pulling
drawers past the stop location.
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.)

Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)
The icemaker will produce approximately
70-100 cubes 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, set the switch
to OFF or move the feeler arm to the STOP (up)
position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the switch to the ON
position or 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.
To remove the cover, lift it off its supports,
pull it forward, tilt it and take it out.
Lift the frame off the supports at each side
and back, pull it forward, tilt it and take it out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
