Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser
ICE DISPENSER TIPS
•Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is
in its “down” or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.
•Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
•Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever the
water supply is turned off.
•If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to remove cubes directly from the ice container.
•The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
•Motor running
•Ice loosening from tray
•Ice dropping into ice container
•Running water
•Water valve opening or closing
•Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
•If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER
Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals, particularly
before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice dispenser sticks.
1. Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the "up" or OFF
position.
2. Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean
the container with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice container to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice
container.
4. Replace the ice container. Lower the wire signal arm on the ice
maker to the "down" or ON position and the ice maker will resume
production.
Do not use the ice chute as a handle when
removing or replacing the ice storage bin.
Surfaces there may be sharp.
Do not put fingers up ice chute. Surfaces
there may be sharp.
IMPORTANT: When removing or replacing the ice bin, do not
rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally turned,
you must realign the auger by turning it in 90° turns until the ice bin
fits into place with the drive mechanism. For further instruction,
see the label on the ice bucket.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in
the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together and jam the dispenser
mechanism.
2. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together
in the bin and jam the dispenser mechanism. Remove the ice storage
bin and shake to loosen the cubes.
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice.
This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than 4 minutes, the dispenser motor may overload
and stop. The overload protector will reset automatically after 3 or 4 minutes.
