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.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch, located on the left wall of the freezer door, can only
be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed. See the following
section for bin removal instructions.
■ To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (up) position.
■ To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the OFF (down)
position.
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 shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position. When the storage bin is at full capacity, the ice
maker will automatically stop ice production, but the ice maker On/Off
switch will remain in the ON (up) 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 flip the ice maker On/Off switch to the
OFF (down) position when removing the storage bin. The storage bin
sensor, located on the left 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.
