Use & Care Guide
• Certain sounds may accompany the various
cycles of the ice maker. The motor may have a
slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into
an empty storage pan and the water valve may
click or “buzz” occasionally.
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste
stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and
wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin
thoroughly before replacing it .
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the
ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can
block the sensor arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
• Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water
supply is to be shut off for
several hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from
the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while
the bin is removed, turn the
ice maker off by raising the
sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker
on by lowering the sensor arm.
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need
to permit airflow between the refrigerator and
freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool
air enters the freezer section through vents in the
rear and top. The air flows forward through the
freezer section and recirculates under the freezer
floor. Cool air enters the refrigerator section
through the top, flows down and across shelves to
the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the
bottom.
Do not block any of these vents with food pack
-
ages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be pre
-
vented and temperature and moisture problems
may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both
sections, any odors formed in one section will
transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean
both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover
foods tightly.
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic
ice making mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in. This will help protect you from
possible injury. It will also prevent interference
with moving parts of the ejector mechanism
and the heating element that releases the
cubes.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes
may be discolored, usually appearing
with a green-bluish hue. The cause of this
unusual discoloration can be a combination
of factors such as certain characteristics of
local waters, household plumbing and the
accumulation of copper salts in an inactive
water supply line which feeds the ice maker.
Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
discoloration is observed, discard the ice
cubes and contact your dealer to purchase
and install a water line filter.
• Water damage due to improper water
connection may cause mold/mildew
growth.
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.
