| Cleaning The Ice Dispenser | |
| Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, particularly | |
| before you take a vacation or move. | |
| ! | CAUTION |
|
| |
| When removing the ice bin, do not grip the ice chute (beneath the front of | |
| the bin) as a handle. Surfaces in the ice chute may be sharp. | |
To clean the ice dispenser:
1Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker’s Off/On switch.
2Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door chute.
6Replace the ice bin. Press the ice maker’s Off/On switch to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
•An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
•You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above. Never use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
IMPORTANT
When removing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger inside the bin. The auger must align with its drive mechanism when the bin is replaced. If you accidentally move the auger, realign by making quarter turns until the ice bin fits back in place.
