■ To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
Ice Production Rate
■ Normal Ice Production: The ice maker should produce a
complete batch of ice every 3 hours. If ice is not being made
fast enough, adjust the Freezer Control to a lower (colder)
number in steps. Wait 24 hours. If necessary, gradually adjust
the Freezer Control to the lowest setting, waiting 24 hours
between each adjustment.
■ OptimIce Production (on some models): The ice maker
should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a
24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the OptimIce
production feature, press the OptimIce touchpad.
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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features.
Refrigerator Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.
Slide-out Shelves

Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
