If cubes are not used, they may shrink. Slow evaperation occurs with slow-moving cold air.

 

 

The longer cubes are stored, the smaller they get.

•

UP to shut off the ice maker.

 

 

 

 

 

• Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes separated and to

 

 

 

 

 

obtain increased storage capacity.

 

 

 

 

• It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a corner. They will break apart easily.

• You will hear water running when ice maker is working. You will hear ice fall into the bin. These are normal sounds.

• The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.

• Because of new plumbing connections, the first ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the first few batches of ice.

• If ice is not making fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control to a higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn the Freezer Control toward A.

• If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin, push it all the way in and lower the arm to the ON position.

• If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an off-flavor similar to stale water. Throw them away. Cubes in the ice bin can also become smaller by evaporation.

• Good water quality is important for good ice quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker be connected to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals, such as salt from a malfunctioning softener, can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, then it is important that the water softener be well maintained and operating properly.
