Ice making information
The first two batches of ice may contain small or irregular cubes, due to air in the supply line. After cubes are made, it is normal for a few cubes to be joined together. They can easily be broken apart.
If the ice is not used frequently the cubes may become cloudy, small, stick together, and taste stale. Empty and wash the bin in lukewarm water periodically. Dry it thoroughly before replacing it.
The ice maker may make a few sounds during its operation. Clicking, rattling, and buzzing are all normal.
Do not store anything in the ice bin except ice made in the ice maker.
