Removing the freezer shelf
To remove the shelf:
1. Lift front of shelf slightly.
2. Lift back of shelf off supports.
3. Replace in reverse order.
Using the ice cube trays
If you don’t use cubes, they may shrink. The
moving cold air starts a slow evaporation.
The longer you store cubes, the smaller they
get.
To remove ice:
1. Hold tray at both ends.
2. Twist slightly.
Using the optional automatic ice maker
(Factory-installed on RT18BM)
If you have an automatic ice maker, or if you
plan to add one later, there are a few things
you will want to know:
• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
DOWN to make ice automatically
UP to shut off the ice maker
IMPORTANT: Do not turn ice maker on
until it is connected to the water supply.
Instructions for ice maker water supply
hook up are attached to the back of the
refrigerator cabinet.
• The dial or lever on the side of the ice
maker changes the size of the cubes.
• Good water quality is important for good
ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals, such as salt from a
malfunctioning softener, can damage the
ice maker mold and lead to poor ice
quality. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, make sure that the water
softener is well maintained and operating
properly.
