HUMIDITY CONTROL
(SOME MODELS)
The Humidity Control,
present on some models
with crisper drawers, allows
you to adjust the humidity
within the crisper. This can
extend the life of fresh
vegetables that keep best in
high humidity.

Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the Humidity
Control set on High Humidity, or in a drawer without a
Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and
maintains maximum moisture content.
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a
sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup
of your refrigerator, however, no ice will be produced during
the first 24 hours of operation. Automatic ice makers are also
optional accessories that may be installed in most models at
any time. Call your local dealer for information.
The ice maker produces 2 to 5 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the
water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower
the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position. New plumbing
connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be
discarded until the cubes produced are free of discoloration
and taste.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker, lift the
wire signal arm until it clicks
and locks in the "up" or OFF
position. The ice maker also
turns off automatically when
the ice container is full. If your
model has an adjustable
freezer shelf, place the shelf in
the lower position, so that the
wire signal arm will hit the ice
when the container is full.

Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage
the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water,
ensure that the softener is maintained and working
properly.
ICE MAKER TIPS
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.
Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal
arm is in its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then
produce more ice.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
• Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position until
the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or
whenever the water supply is turned off.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is
operating:
• Motor running
• Ice loosening from tray
• Ice dropping into ice container
• Running water
• Water valve opening or closing
