Cold water and ice dispenser tips.

. Use only ice crescents from the ice maker. Other shapes will not dispense properly.

.

.

.

Large amounts of ice (more than two glasses) should be taken from the ice maker storage bin not the dispenser. The dispenser motor may stop if the dispenser bar is held in too long. If the motor stops, it will restart in about 3 minutes.

Cubes left in the bin for long periods of time may develop an off-flavor, like stale water. Throw old cubes away. Cubes may also become smaller if stored for a long time.

Good water quality is important for good ice quality. It is not recommended that you connect the ice maker to a softened water supply. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, it is important to maintain the water softener so it operates properly. Water softener chemicals, such as salt from a malfunctioning softener, can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor quality ice.
