After ice is formed, ice maker drops ice cubes into ice storage bucket. During ice production, ice maker arm raises and lowers. When ice storage bucket is full, ice maker arm turns ice maker off. Discard first 3 harvests of ice after initial ice production and after extended periods of non-use.

Stop ice production by lifting ice maker arm. A definite click is heard when off position is reached. Ice maker arm will remain in that position until pushed down.
