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 icemaker.
2. Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse
with clear water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
placing it back into the freezer.
5. Place ice bin back into position. 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 refreeze together after power is
restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently.
Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Removing Ice Bin
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the
cubes or clean as explained above.
Turning the ice maker on and off
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can work as soon as you
install your refrigerator. If you do not
fill the water tank, set the ice maker’s
On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the
ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud
chattering noise when it attempts to
operate without water.
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing
the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.
Note: The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. This signal
arm should not be used to manually stop the
ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply d
isables ice making. You will still be able
to dispense existing ice, and you will
still be able to dispense water.
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 as d escribed in the
previous section.
• 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
• 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.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your
container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice
bin.
