ICE MAKER
Turning Your Ice Maker On
After you have completed connecting the plumbing, you must open the water supply 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 ed. 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 Off
To turn the ice maker off, press on the appliance control display. Then press and hold ICE MAKER until the LEDs above ICE MAKER are turned off. Separately, the ice maker automatically stops producing ice when the bin is full, and then restarts when the level of ice drops.

Ice Maker Tips
- If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
- Ice cubes stored too long may develop 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 off until the ice maker is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.
- 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
IMPORTANT
To ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up the water supply immediately or turn the ice maker off (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 off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
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
IMPORTANT When placing frozen items in the freezer, leave a gap of at least 2” at the top of the freezer. Stacking items to the top can cause ice buildup
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 location 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 great for food that may need to be separated. The drawer can easily be used with the dividers or without by removing or adding the inserts.
Door Bin Dividers
Customize your unit to fit different sized items as your needs change with door bin dividers.
To remove, grasp the divider and pull it upward until it disengages with the door bin.
To install, slide the divider downward into the corresponding door bin alignment features until it is fully placed.
Adjustable Door Bins
The adjustable door bins are specially designed to hold large containers or storage bags. Each bin type can be used only in the zone indicated below so the door can close correctly. Your unit has 2 Half-Gallon Door Bins (Zone A), a Gallon Door Bin (Zone B), and 2 Tall Item Door Bins (Zone C).
To remove a door bin:
- Grasp the ends of the door bin.
- Lift the door bin up until it clears the locking lugs.
