■ If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is
needed, turn the Temperature Control toward a higher
(colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if
the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24
hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Temperature
Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours
between each increase.
REMEMBER:
■ 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.

CARING FOR YOUR

Cleaning Your Refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections about once a
month to prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills
immediately.
Energy Saving Tip:
Clean the condenser coils regularly, as described in the
cleaning chart in this section.
To clean your refrigerator:
■ Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
■ Remove all removable parts from inside, such as
shelves, crispers, etc.
■ Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
■ Hand wash, rinse, and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
■ Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

PART COMMENTS
Outside ■ Waxing external painted metal
surfaces helps provide rust
protection. Do not wax plastic
parts. Wax painted metal surfaces
at least twice a year using
appliance wax (or auto paste wax).
Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
Inside walls
(allow freezer
to warm up so
cloth won’t
stick)
■ To help remove odors, you can
wash with a mixture of warm water
and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g
to .95 L] of water).
