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. It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners. They will break apart easily. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down. Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports. Check to make sure that the shelf is securely in position.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled with the word �Accessory.� Not all accessories will fit all models. If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please call the toll-free number on the cover or in the �Accessories� section.

Flip-up Shelf
(on some models)
To raise or lower the shelf:
1. Raise the shelf by pulling forward on the lever located at the bottom front of the shelf and lift until the shelf locks into the vertical position. 2. Lower the shelf until it is latched securely in place.

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.

Adjustable Flip-up Shelf
(on some models)
To raise or lower the shelf:
1. Raise the shelf by first sliding it back and down to make it half-width. (You can use the shelf in this position to allow taller items to be stored on the shelf below.) 2. Lift the front of the shelf until it fits securely in place against the back wall. Lower the shelf securely back into position. 3. Pull the front of the shelf forward until it fits into place.

Refrigerator Shelves
Your model may have glass or wire shelves. Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves energy.

1. Pull the shelf forward to the stop. Tilt the front of the shelf up and lift it slightly as you pull the shelf from the frame. 2. Replace the shelf by guiding it back into the slots on the frame and pushing the shelf in past the stop.
