The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grotmding) i)lug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet

to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet

is properly grotmded.
\\]_ere a standard 2-prong wall oudet is

encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a

properly grom_ded 3-1)tong wall outlet,
The refl_igemtor should always be plugged into

its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

USE OF EXT?2NSION CORDS

This provides the best perfi)mmnce and also
pre_vnts o\ erloading house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard fi'om o\ efl_eated wires.
Ne\vr unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. aMWayS grip plug firefly and pull
straight out from the oudet.

Rei:)air or replace immediately all power cords
that have become tiaved or otherwise damaged,

Do not use a cord that sho_vs cmclcs or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.

\_q_en moving the refl-igemtor away ti'om the
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of am extension cord.

SAVE

Howe\w. if you must use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessai T that it be a UI Aisted, 3-wire

grotmding bpe appliance extension cord having
a grotmding _'pe plug and outlet and that the

electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes

(minim urn) and 120 volts.

To remove: Slide the shelf out until it reaches
the stop, then press down on the tab and slide

the shelf straight out.

To replace or relocate: i,ine the shelf up with
the supports and slide it into place. The shelf
can be repositioned when the door is at 90 ° or
more. To reposition the shelf, slide the shelf

Automatic

icemaher

N07_: A n_'wl? installed _/?_q>rator may/ake 12 to 24 hours to b%d_ makb_g ice.

The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle--approximately 100-130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer

col//p_lrtI//ent teInperature, rooIn tei//per;itHre,

nulllber of door opellillgs alld other Hse

conditions.

If the refl'igerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the

power switch in the 0 (off) position.

When the refl'igerator has been connected to

the water supply, set the power switch to the
I (on) position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to

15°F (-10°C). A newly installed refl'igerator may

take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the

icemaker fills with water.

Throw awav the fi_t tew batches of ice to allow
the water line to clea_;

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of
the teeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the teeler 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 doudy, taste stale and shrink.

Special notes:

" Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.

The bin can be tilted out as shown in the
illustrations, and it will hold itself up while

you take ice out or turn the icemaker power

switch on and off. Be sm'e to put the bin
back in place betore closing the door.

, To restore your ice level from an empty

bucket stage, the following steps axe
recommended:

1 12 horn's after the first batch of ice has

fidlen into the bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.

2 _Mter an additional 6 hours, dispense

3 to 4 cubes again.

These steps will restore your ice level in the
