The Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid

unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the

controls and dispenser pads. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice

Maker and Storage Bin.”

■Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

■Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.

The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

■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.

■Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage

bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the

dispenser mechanism.

■Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or

storage bin.

Style 1

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:

The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin

has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on

the left side of the wal l that surrounds the ice storage bin. See the

following section for bin removal instructions.

■To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)

position.

■To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the

OFF (right) position.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the

storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. The ice

maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the

control will remain in the ON (left) position.

Removing and Replacing the Ice Storage Bin:

1. Press down the release lever and tilt the bucket outward. Use

both hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up

and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the

OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The

sensor cover (“flipper door”), located on the right wall of the

freezer door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the

door is open or the storage bin is removed.

2. Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door, then tilting it back

into an upright position. The release lever will click when the

bin is securely in place.

Style 2

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:

■To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

■To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to

the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still

be dispensed, but no more can be made.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the

storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is

made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes

will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not

force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
