l
The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker
changes the size of the cubes.
l
Shake the bin occasionally
to keep cubes sepa-
rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity.
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 first
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 to-
ward a higher number. Wait a day and, if neces-
sary, turn the Freezer Control toward A.
l
If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to
shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin,
push it all the way in and lower the arm to the ON
position.
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
Good water quality
is important
for good ice
quality It is not recommended
that the ice maker
be connected
to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals
such as salt from a malfunc-
tioning
softener can damage
the ice maker
mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened
water supply cannot be avoided, then it is impor-
tant that the water softener be well maintained
and operating
properly.
Sounds you-may hear...
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
cabinet 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.
