Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket
To turn the ice maker on/off:
The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located on the side of the ice maker.
1.To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.
2.To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

2.Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
3.Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4.Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly.
To care for ice storage bin:
1.Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.
NOTE: Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.
2.Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
REMEMBER:
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
■The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker.
■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.
■It may take three to four days for the ice bin to completely fill, if no ice is used.
