Throw away the first few batches of ice. This flushes away impurities in the water line.
Icemaking will continue until the feeler arm senses enough ice cubes in the storage bin. For maximum ice production, level the stored cubes with your hand occasionally. Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight and it is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP (up) position when:

•ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time.

•turning the freezer control to the OFF position.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to allow the storage bin to dry before replacing it— otherwise ice cubes may stick to other parts of the icemaker.
