Ice Maker

(on somemodels- Accessory)

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

■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.

■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.

Ice Production Rate

■NORMAL Ice Production: The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

■MAXIMUM Ice Production (on some models): The ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24- hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to MAX.

Remember

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■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.

■Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

Quick Tap™ Beverage Dispenser

(on somemodels)

Your refrigerator may have an exterior beverage dispenser. This innovative feature allows easy access to chilled beverages without opening your refrigerator door, which may help reduce energy consumption.

IMPORTANT:

■The Quick Tap™ beverage dispenser is to be used only for water or clear, liquid beverages. Using beverages such as milk or juices with pulp or seeds may clog the valve and cause the dispenser to malfunction.

■Clean the beverage dispensing system before using it for the first time. Fill the storage tank with clean water and press the dispensing lever with a large container to dispense at least

1 liter of water. Discard the water. This cleans the system and clears air from the dispenser valve.

■For your convenience, we have provided an extra dispenser valve. It is recommended that you replace the beverage dispenser valve approximately every 6 months.

Contact Amana to purchase a replacement beverage dispenser valve, Part Number 2328499. In the U.S.A., call

1-877-232-6771 or visit www.amana.com. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777 or visit www.amanacanada.ca.

■When turning on the refrigerator for the first time, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill the beverage.

NOTE: Keeping the beverage cold does not mean the drink will last longer.

■Dispense enough beverage during the week to keep the beverage fresh. The beverage may acquire a strange taste if the dispenser is not used regularly. Do not store a beverage in the dispenser for longer than 1 week.

NOTES:

■Carbonated beverages may lose their fizz after a 6-hour period.

■Clean the storage tank and dispenser parts before refilling with a new beverage. See “Clean the Beverage Storage Tank.”

IMPORTANT: The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused to the dispenser and its system, should liquids other than water or clear beverages be used.
