Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket

(on some models - Accessory)

To turn the ice maker on/off: (Style 1)

The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shut-off arm located on the side of the ice maker.

1.To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up) position.

2.To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

MAX

NORMAL

To increase ice production rate:

■Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, the ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer 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 Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

■Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum ice production, the ice maker should produce approximately 10 to 14 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to MAX.

To remove and replace the ice bin: (Style 1)

1.Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear.

2.Lift the wire shut-off arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.

3.Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

4.Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser will not work. Push the wire shut-off arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly.

To turn the ice maker on/off: (Style 2)

The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

1.To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.

2.To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the OFF (right) position.

To remove and replace ice bucket:

1.Place four fingers in bucket base opening and rest thumb on the release button.

2.Holding the base of the bucket with both hands, depress the release button and lift the bucket up and out. It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position. The ice maker will not produce ice without the bucket installed in the door.

■Normal Ice Production should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice in a 24-hour period.

To care for ice storage bin or bucket:

1.Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

2.Wash ice bin or bucket with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

REMEMBER:

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

■Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be flushed out of the system.

■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.

■It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners. They will break apart easily.

■For Style 1, do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down.

■Do not store anything on top or in the ice maker or ice bin or bucket.
