3. On an appliance with a bottom freezer,

remove the slide-out basket, the ice cube

trays, and the wire ice cube holder (if

necessary, refer to your “Use and Care

Guide” for the procedure). Set these items

aside.

On top-mount models without a full-width

freezer shelf, remove the ice tray shelf.

Place the shelf aside, as you will use it

later to support the ice bucket.

If you have a side-by-side model

refrigerator, proceed to “Side-by-side

models” on page 7. If you have a

refrigerator with a top or a bottom freezer,

proceed to “Top/bottom freezer models” on

page 9.

NOTE: The work area for all three model

refrigerator-freezers is shown in DETAIL A

below.

Installing the Ice Maker

Making preparations

Refer to the illustration below for the

following steps.

1. Carefully pull the refrigerator away from

the wall so that you can easily access the

rear panel.

IMPORTANT: If you have a side-by-side

model refrigerator-freezer, be careful when

you open the freezer door to work inside that

you do not force the door against the stop at

the bottom of the door. If you bend the stop,

the door will not close properly.

2. On appliances with a top or a bottom

freezer, open the freezer door and remove

all of the food items from inside the freezer

compartment.

For side-by-side units, you should only

have to remove food items from the

top half of the freezer section. This

should give you enough room

to access the areas to install the

ice maker.
