Ice and Water
Automatic Ice Maker
Note
• Energy rating guides that are postedon the
refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include
optional ice maker energy usage.
To avoidpersonal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is
pluggedin. This will help protect you from possible
injury. It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism andthe heating
element that releases the cubes.
•Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored, usually appearing with a green-
bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration
can be a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household
plumbing andthe accumulation of copper salts in
an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice
maker. Continuedconsumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
discoloration is observed, discardthe ice cubes
andcontact your dealer to purchase andinstall a
water line filter.
• Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water andice spills to avoidpersonal
injury andto prevent mold/mildew growth.
WARNING
Some models are automatic ice maker ready. The
number of the appropriate ice maker kit is IC10S. The
kit contains installation instructions andwater
connection instructions.
Other models have a factory installedice maker.
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructedon pages 4-5. Properwaterflow and a
level refrigeratorare essential foroptimal ice
makerperformance.
OperatingInstructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place andice maker arm is
down.
• After freezer section reaches
between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C),
ice maker fills with water and
begins operating. You will have a
complete harvest of ice
approximately every three hours.
• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to
receive first harvest of ice.
• Discardice createdwithin first 12 hours of operation
to verify system is flushedof impurities.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until
click is heard.
• Ice maker will remain in the OFF position until arm is
pusheddown.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersizedandirregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejectedit is normal for
several cubes to be joinedtogether at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the sensor arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage
pan andthe water valve may click or “buzz”
occasionally.
• If the ice is not usedfrequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together andtaste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically andwash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing it.
• Beverages andfoods shouldnot be placedin the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block
the sensor arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
• Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water
supply is to be shut off for several hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoidthe
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on
by lowering the sensor arm.

Food Storage Tips
Fresh Food Storage
• The fresh foodcompartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34°-40° F (1°-4° C) with an
optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a
glass of water andplace in the center of the
refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature
is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls as explained
on page 7.
• Avoidovercrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air aroundthe foodand
results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
• Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help
preserve the fruit andvegetable quality for longer
time periods.
• Sort fruits andvegetables before storage anduse
bruisedor soft items first. Discardthose showing
signs of decay.
• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and
cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
• While vegetables needa certain amount of humidity
to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain
vegetables well before storing.
• Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
Meat and Cheese
• Raw meat andpoultry shouldbe wrappedsecurely
so leakage andcontamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
• Occasionally moldwill develop on the surface of
hardcheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at
least an inch aroundandbelow the moldy area. Keep
your knife or instrument out of the molditself. Do not
try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
moldappears.
Dairy Food
• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream
andcottage cheese have freshness dates on their
cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these
foods in the original carton andrefrigerate
immediately after purchasing andafter each use.
Frozen Food Storage
• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator shouldbe
kept at approximately 0° F (-18° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages andcheck after 24
hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18° C),
adjust the control as describedon page 7.
• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds full.
PackagingFoods forFreezing
• To minimize dehydration andquality deterioration use
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight
containers. Force as much air out of the packages as
possible andbe sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped
air can cause the foodto dry out, change color and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
• Overwrap fresh meats andpoultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loadingthe Freezer
• Avoidadding too much warm foodto the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of
freezing andcan raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
• Leave space between the packages so coldair can
circulate freely, allowing foodto freeze as quickly as
possible.
• Avoidstoring hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream
andorange juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best storedin the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less with door openings.
Refer to the FoodStorage Chart for approximate
storage times, pages 17-18.
