5.Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the ice maker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.

NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.

Using the Controls

1.To start ice production, press ON.

2.To stop ice maker operation, press OFF.

NOTES:

■Pressing the On/Off switch does not shut off power to the ice maker.

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

Fast Ice Mode

Select the Fast Ice feature when you have an upcoming need for a large amount of ice and the ice bin is low or empty. The Fast Ice mode will produce a greater quantity of ice in a 24-hour period.

■Press and hold FAST ICE while the ice maker is on. The indicator light will illuminate.

■Press and hold FAST ICE again to turn off the Fast Ice feature. The indicator light will turn off.

Service Light

The service light indicates when service is needed. If the service light turns on, turn the ice maker off and back on. If the service light turns on again, call for service.

Cleaning Needed Status Light

The Cleaning Needed Status light will help you know when it is time to clean your ice maker. The light will change from green to yellow. This tells you it is almost time to clean your ice maker. It is recommended that you clean the ice maker when the status light changes to red OR ice production decreases significantly. To clean your ice maker, see “Ice Maker System” in the “Cleaning” section.

ICE MAKER CARE

Cleaning

The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the “Ice Maker System” and the “Condenser” sections.

Exterior Surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good household appliance cleaner and wax will help maintain the finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they may scratch the finish.

For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on stainless steel surfaces.

Ice Maker System

Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often you need to clean the system depends upon how hard your water is. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as every 6 months.

NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker cleaner. To order, call 1-800-442-9991and ask for Part Number 4396808. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.

1.Turn off the ice maker.

2.Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage bin. Remove all ice from the storage bin.

3.Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water pan located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to drain completely.

4.Replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will have either thin ice or no ice.

5.Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner bottle before completing the steps below. Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker cleaner.

6.Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the bottle twice with tap water and pour it into the water pan.
