Crisper Removal To Remove: These drawers can be removed easily by lifting up slightly while pulling the drawer past the stop location. When the door cannot be fully opened, remove the drawer farthest from the door first. Make sure the drawer closest to the door is fully closed. There is a latch at the front of the center slide rail. Push down on the latch and slide the center slide rail, to which the drawer is attached, away from the door. Remove the drawer. About the automatic icemaker. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12-24 hours to begin making ice. Power Switch Icemaker Green Power Light Feeler Arm Power switch model Feeler Arm in the STOP Feeler Arm in (up) position the ON (down) position Feeler arm model Automatic Icemaker (on some models) The icemaker will produce seven or eight cubes (depending on model) per cycle- approximately 100-130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions. There are two types of icemakers: power switch models and feeler arm models. If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off) or move the feeler arm to the STOP (up) position. When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to the I (on) position or move the feeler arm to the ON (down) position. On power switch models, the green light will come on. You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water. The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to approximately 15°F. A newlyinstalled refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes. Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear. Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler 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 cloudy, taste stale and shrink. On power switch models, the green power light will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker. To correct this, set the power switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set the power switch to I (on) to restart the icemaker. After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will be a delay of about 45 minutes before the icemaker resumes operation. NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.
