AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24
Hours?
A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 pounds of ice
every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced
at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24
Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4 pounds of ice
every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced
at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES
The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled
water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.
To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using
the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as
far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull
glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the glass
until the ice has completely dispensed. Complete instructions
for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside of the
freezer door (some models).
ICE DISPENSER TIPS
• Icecubesstoredtoolongmaydevelopanoddavor.
Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker is
on (see previous page). The ice maker will then produce
more ice.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
• Ifalargequantityoficeisneededatonetime,itisbest
to remove cubes directly from the ice container.
• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during
vacations.
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of
time, turn the water supply valve to a closed position.
CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER
Clean the ice dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,
particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice
dispenser sticks.
• Stopiceproductiononside-mountedicemakerby
raising wire signal arm to the UP position. Stop ice
production on rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the
ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the Off (O) position.

loosen the cubes.
WARNING
Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing
or replacing the ice storage bin. Surfaces there may be
sharp. Do not put fingers up ice chute. Surfaces there
may be sharp.
CAUTION
If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than four
minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and stop. The
overload protector will reset automatically after three or
four minutes.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate
the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated,
you must realign the auger by turning it in 90º turns until
the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the
auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the
refrigerator will only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door
may also not close properly causing warm air to leak into the
freezer.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to
break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin
and dispenser mechanism.
