Ice compartment door
Pull the ice compartment door panel out from the
bottom and slide it to the rear.
Ice cube trays
If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The
moving cold air starts a slow evaporation. The
longer cubes are stored, the smaller they get.
To remove ice:
1. Hold tray at both ends.
2. Twist slightly.

Optional automatic ice maker
If you have the automatic ice maker accessory, or
if you plan to add one later (Part No. ECKMF-90),
there are a few things you will want to know;
• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down...for making ice automatically.
Up...to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is con­
nected 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.
• Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa­
rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity.
• It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
• You will hear water running when ice maker is
working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let
these sounds bother you.
• The ice maker will not operate until the freezer
is cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.
• Because of new plumbing connections, the first
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the
first few batches of ice.
