Using your ice maker (Ice & Water models only)
Ice maker
23
Your ice maker is designed to automatically dispense ice until it senses that the bin is full. So the more ice you use, the more it makes. It is even clever enough to sense when there is no bin in place to catch the ice.
First use
When you first turn your refrigerator on after installation, the ice maker will be off.
To turn your ice maker on use the button to scroll to the
screen.
Use the or

Press together to force a cycle. The ice tray will flip. Force another cycle. The ice tray will flip and spill the water into the ice bin. Empty water and replace bin.
If the bin is full, or inserted incorrectly the ice maker will not
operate. When the bin is inserted correctly the scoop will be on
the right hand side of the bin for models E402B, E442B, E522B Fig.13 Turning ice maker on and the front of the bin for model RF610A (refer to Fig.14 on
page 24). If all bins are removed the ice maker will not operate. Once your ice maker is in operation, discard the first bin of ice cubes. This will flush away any impurities in the water line and ensure that you get the best quality ice. We recommend that you also do this after vacations or extended periods of not using ice. We recommend that you turn the ice maker off if:
–The water supply is to be off for several hours or
–The ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time or
–You are going on holiday/vacation.
