If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Temperature Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Temperature Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

REMEMBER:

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker.

Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
