Automatic Ice & Water Dispenser (Continued)
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the
ice maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently, it may be an indication of low
water pressure or the water filter needs to
be replaced. As the water filter nears the
end of its useful life and becomes clogged
with particles, less water is delivered to the
ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if
it'sbeen six months or longer since you last
changed your water filter, replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality household
water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
* If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn off the ice maker by holding the
On/Off soft-touch icon for three seconds.
* The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
* When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
* If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice bin.
* Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as
explained below.
* When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal
to have a small quantity of little pieces
along with the whole cubes.
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly
maintained. Chemicals from a water
softener can damage the ice maker.
Cleaning the Ice Maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals,especially prior to vacation or moving.
1. Turn off
the ice
maker.
2. Remove
the ice bin
by pulling

abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
* An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice 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 bin and shake to loosen the
cubes or clean as explained above.

NEVER use an ice pick or similar
sharp instrument to break up the ice.
This could damage the ice bin and
dispenser mechanism.
To IG,0sen stuck ice, use warm water.
