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.

Ice Maker

Style 1

To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the

OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.

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. Do not

force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Ice Production Rate:

■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches

of ice in a 24-hour period.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator

temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours

between adjustments.

■ For maximum ice production (on some models), push the

switch to ICE PLUS. The ice maker should produce 16 to

20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the Ice Plus mode.

Style 2

To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the

OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.

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. Do not

force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Ice Production Rate:

■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches

of ice in a 24-hour period with the ice level adjustment arm in

the factory set 100% position.

NOTE: Adjust the ice level by slightly pressing in on the ice

level adjustment arm, to release it from the wire shutoff arm,

and then moving it up or down to the desired setting.

■ To decrease the amount of ice produced, move the ice level

adjustment arm to the 75% or 50% position.

■ For maximum ice production move the ice level adjustment

arm to the 100% position.

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 use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This

can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser

mechanism.

■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice bin.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.

However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid

buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT:

■ Because air circulates between both sections, any odors

formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid

odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods

tightly.

■ For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-

resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of

your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the

following cleaning instructions.

A. Wire shutoff arm

B. Ice level adjustment arm

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
