corner. They will break apart easily.

cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.

If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice
is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a
higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn
the Freezer Control toward C.

Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker
be connected to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-
tioning softener can damage the ice maker mold

supply cannot be avoided, then it is important
that the water softener be well maintained and
operating properly.
