IMPORTANT

You may want to change your ice cube size per your preference or if you have low water pressure in your home.The ice cube size function allows you to change the cube size from the display panel.There are three sizes: 1,2, and 3.The factory default is 1 (smallest). This size should work well in most cases. If your water pressure is low or you simply prefer a larger size, then you can change to size 2. Size 3 should ONLY be used in case of very low water pressure. Using size 3 with high water pressure (above 70 psi) could result in overfilling the ice maker.The excess water will spill into the ice bin causing the existing ice to clump together.

To change cube size

1Quickly press the CUBE button twice.You will see one dash in the refrigerator temperature display. The freezer temperature display will show ICE.

2Press the refrigerator Up (+) and Down (-) buttons to change the size. One dash will produce small cubes, two dashes will produce medium cubes and three dashes will produce large cubes.

3Press the CUBE button again to save the setting.

Ice maker/dispenser tips

•If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker by holding the On/Off soft-touch icon for three

(3) seconds.

•The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

- Motor running

- Ice dropping into ice bin

- Water valve opening or closing - Running water

•When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.

•If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.

•Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.

Empty the ice bin as explained below.

•When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.

CAUTION

If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Cleaning the ice maker

freezer.

 

5Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

•An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

•You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin.

To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.

IMPORTANT

When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
