To Stop Dispensing, If Ice Is Not Used Often

To Stop Dispensing

Release pressure from cradle and withdraw slowly to catch last ice cubes or drops of water.

Some slight dripping may occur following dispensing of chilled water. If excessive, the spill should be wiped dry immediately.

Do not pour water in spill shelf because it is not self-draining— pour it in kitchen sink. The shelf and its grille should be cleaned regularly according to instructions on page 18.

Storage Bin...

The Icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight, and it is normal for several cubes to be joined together. However, if you don’t use the ice very often, ice clumps may form in the storage bin and can clog

If this happens:

●Remove storage bin from freezer compartment.

. Break up ice clumps with fingertip pressure and discard remaining clumps.

●Replace bin before remaining cubes melt and fuse together.

Lift the left corner to free the bin from the shelf, and pull the bin straight out while supporting it at front and back.
