IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
with the wire signal arm in the ON position
(side mounted) or with the switch turned ON
(rear mounted). To ensure proper function
of your ice maker, hook up water supply
immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting
the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in
the UP position (side mounted) or turn the
On/Off switch to the Off (0) position (rear
mounted). If the ice maker is not turned off
and the water supply is not connected, the
water valve will make a loud chattering noise.
CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener
can damage the ice maker. If the water supply
to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the
softener is maintained to work properly.

Off On
• The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice container
- Water valve opening or closing
- Ice loosening from tray
- Running water
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.

freezer and during vacations.

Turning the REAR MOUNTED Ice
Maker On and Off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
ON/OFF power switch. To gain access to the
ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf out. Press
the switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and
press it to the “I” position to turn it On. The
ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,
which automatically stops ice production when
the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm
to manually stop the ice maker.
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd avor. Empty the ice container as
explained below.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to
keep ice separated.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn Off the ice maker.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice container.
Cleaning the Ice Maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, particularly before you take a
vacation or move.
To clean the ice maker:
1 Turn Off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin
shelf and the freezer door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker
to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage
bin to melt and freeze together, jamming
the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently.
Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to
loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
