Ice Maker
When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain the cube supply.
IMPORTANT
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment because they will freeze.

Ice production may be interrupted by raising the bin arm into an upright and locked position (Figure 7). The unit will maintain temperature for ice storage.
IMPORTANT
If you are not intending to use the ice maker and turn the supply valve off, it is imperative to raise the bin arm of the ice maker (Figure 7). Failure to raise the bin arm may result in damage to the water valve.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, or ice dropping into the ice bucket.
WARNING
NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice bucket instead.
During periods of limited usage or high ambient temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together. Shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If the ice maker is not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied periodically to ensure fresh cubes.
It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by air being trapped in the water due to fast freezing. It has nothing to do with the health, taste or chemical
The ice bucket can be removed for emptying and cleaning. To remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice bucket for ice storage only.
Normal Operating Sounds
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. In spite of this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood/vinyl/tiled floors and paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Common refrigeration components, and a brief description of the normal operating sounds they make, are listed below. NOTE: Your product may not contain all of the components listed.
•Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates.
•Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling liquid.
•Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.
•Automatic Defrost/Drain Pan: Water may be heard dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in the defrost cycle.
•Automatic Ice Maker: You will hear ice as it drops from the mold into the ice bin/tray.
•Water Valve: After an ice maker completes a cycle, a water valve will make a buzzing sound and running water may be briefly heard.
