ICE MAKER

IMPORTANT

To ensure proper function of your ice

maker, hook up the water supply imme-

diately or turn the ice maker o (see ICE

MAKER in CONTROLS AND SETTINGS).

CAUTION

• DO NOT place the ice bin in

the dishwasher.

• Wash the ice bin in warm water with

mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.

• Turn o the ice maker when cleaning

the freezer and during vacations.

Your appliance has an automatic ice

maker that will provide a sucient supply

of ice for normal use. The unit will not

produce ice during the ﬁrst 24 hours of

initial operation.

Turning Your Ice Maker On

After you have completed connecting the

plumbing, you must open the water sup-

ply valve. To turn the ice maker on, press

on the appliance control display. Then

press and hold ICE MAKER until the LEDs

above ICE MAKER are illuminated. New

plumbing connections may cause the ﬁrst

production of ice cubes to be discolored

or have an odd ﬂavor. Discard these ﬁrst

cubes until the cubes produced are free

of discoloration and taste.

Turning Your Ice Maker O

To turn the ice maker o, press on the

appliance control display. Then press and

hold ICE MAKER until the LEDs above

ICE MAKER are turned o. Separately, the

ice maker automatically stops producing

ice when the bin is full, and then restarts

when the level of ice drops. Note that

when the ice maker is turned O at the

appliance control, the ice maker will not

produce ice at all

Ice Maker Tips

• If the ice maker will be turned o for

a long period of time, turn the water

supply valve to the closed position.

• Ice cubes stored too long may de-

velop an odd ﬂavor. Empty the ice

bin. The ice maker will then produce

more ice.

• Occasionally shake the ice container

to keep ice separated.

• Keep the ice maker o until the ice

maker is connected to the water

supply or whenever the water supply

is turned o.

• The following sounds are normal

when the ice maker is operating:

• Motor running

• Ice loosening from tray

• Ice dropping into ice container

• Running water

• Water valve opening or closing

Ice Maker Storage Bin

Capacity

The ice maker should produce about 4.5

lbs of ice per 24 hours, depending on

conditions of use.

How much ice can be stored in the ice bins?

When completely full, the bins will hold

about 8 lbs of ice.

STORAGE FEATURES

Full Width Cantilever Shelves

Multi-position adjustable metal shelves

can be moved to any position for larger

or smaller packages. The shipping spacers

that stabilize the shelves for shipping may

be removed and discarded.

To Adjust The Shelves

• Remove all food from the shelf.

• Lift the front edge up to release the

tabs from the slots in the rear and

pull the shelf out.

• Replace the shelf by inserting the

mounting bracket hooks into the

desired support slots at the rear.

• Carefully lower the shelf and lock

into position.

Soft Freeze Zone

The soft freeze zone drawer remains

slightly warmer than the freezer interior

for convenient storage of soft freeze

items such as ice cream.

Slide-Out Shelf with Removable

Ice Storage Bins

The slide-out shelf provides easy access

to the removable ice storage bin. You

should return it back to its fully closed

position to allow the ice maker to

properly dispense ice cubes. If the slide-

out shelf is not in its fully closed position,

it will cause ice to be dispensed outside

the ice bin, possibly causing the need for

a service call.

The removeable storage bins hold ice

from the ice maker. The left-hand bin

is in the primary location for holding

dispensed ice. If you prefer more ice,

simply move the bin to the right, and put

the other bin in place on the left-hand

side for holding newly dispensed ice.

When not holding ice, the right-hand bin

can be used for additional storage. Or you

can remove the right-hand bin in order to

use the slide-out shelf for storage.

Lower Drawer with Dividers

The lower drawer with dividers works
