Ice Cube Trays.
To remove ice from the flexible ice trays, hold a tray at both ends, as shown. Slightly twist the tray; the ice will come out easily. If cubes are not used for a number of weeks, they may become smaller. The moving air is so cold that it starts a slow evaporation. (That�s also why its so important to wrap food carefully.) The longer they are stored, the smaller they can get.

Ice Maker.

Raise Signal

Arm to Stop Ice Maker. Lower Signal Arm to Start It.

If you have the automatic ice maker accessory (Part No. ECKMF-61, or plan to add one, there are a few things you will want to know: l On the side of your ice maker is a wire signal arm. When it�s down, the ice maker will make ice automatically. Raise the arm to shut off the ice maker. l Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes separated, and to obtain increased storage capacity. It is normal for the cubes to be attached by a corner. They will break apart easily. l You will hear water running when the ice maker is working. You�ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don�t let these new sounds bother you. l The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight. l Because of new plumbing connections, the first ice may be discolored or off-flavored. l Your ice maker will work faster when the freezer is colder. If you want more ice, turn the Temperature Control dial to a higher number, or turn the Air Control dial toward a higher number. l If you remove the ice bin, make sure you raise the signal arm to shut off operation. When you put the bin back, make sure its all the way in and the arm is lowered. l If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an off-flavor...like stale water. Throw them away. They will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can also become smaller by evaporation.

Moving the Meat Pan and Cover.
The meat pan can be fitted under any of the shelves...in the middle or either side. To move it, remove the meat pan by pulling forward, lifting over the stops and pulling it out the rest of the way. Remove the cover by lifting up the front and pulling the unit forward and out. To replace it, fit the notches in the sides of the cover over the center shelf support. Lower the cover into place and slide the meat pan into the side supports.

Push the Tab to Clear the Cover

Removing the Crispers and Crisper Covers.
To remove the crispers, slide them out until they stop. Lift the front a little and slide them the rest of the way out. Each cover is held in place by two pegs at the back and two notched tabs in the front. Press the tabs out of the way to lift the front. Lift the back off the pegs. To put the covers back, replace the center leg. Replace each cover by first fitting the back notches over the pegs. Then push the front down into the notched tabs. The center leg can be made shorter or longer to help level the crisper covers, if necessary. Hold the leg and turn the top part counter-clockwlse to make the leg longer. Turn it clockwise to shorten the leg. 5
