Max Ice Mode

 

Clean

Select the Max Ice feature when you have an upcoming need for a large amount of ice and the ice bin is low or empty. Max Ice mode will produce a greater quantity of ice in a 24-hour period.

Press MAX ICE while the ice maker is on. The indicator light will illuminate.

Press MAX ICE again to turn off the Max Ice feature. The indicator light will turn off.

The Max Ice mode will be on when you first turn on the product. It will turn off after 24 hours. To turn Max Ice back on, press MAX ICE.

It is recommended that you clean the ice maker when the “Cleaning Needed” light is illuminated or 9 months has elapsed or ice production decreases significantly. To clean your ice maker, see “Ice Maker System” in the “Cleaning” section.

Door Ajar Alarm

The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the ice maker door is open for 5 minutes. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close the door to turn off. The feature then resets and will reactivate when the door is left open again for 5 minutes.

Normal Sounds

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.

You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water pan for each cycle.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises.

The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high pitched sound.

Water running over the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound.

Water running from the evaporator plate to the water pan may make a splashing sound.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

During the harvest cycle, you may hear a “thud” when the ice sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.

When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.

If the ice maker is connected to a water supply pressure in excess of 60 psi, you may hear a loud sound during water filling associated with the flow of water through the inlet valve. Call a licensed, qualified plumber to determine the best method to reduce the supply water pressure (50 psi is recommended).

ICE MAKER CARE

Cleaning

The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the “Ice Maker System” and the “Condenser” sections.

Exterior Surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good household appliance cleaner and wax will help maintain the finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they may scratch the finish.

For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surfaces.

Ice Maker System

Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often you need to clean the system depends upon how hard your water is. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as every 9 months.

NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker cleaner. To order, see “Accessories.”

1.Press the ON/OFF button.

2.Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage bin. Remove all ice from the storage bin.

3.Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water pan located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to drain completely.

4.Replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will have either thin ice or no ice.

5.Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner bottle before completing the steps below. Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker cleaner.
