4. Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the
attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a

Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Turn the Ice Maker On/Off
The ice maker On/Off control is located on the left-hand side of
the ice bin.
1. To turn on the ice maker, slide the ice maker On/Off control to
the ON (up) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the ice
maker control will remain in the ON (up) position.
2. To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the ice maker On/Off
control to the OFF (down) position as shown.
Ice Storage Bin Care
1. Slide the ice bin out of the freezer and lift up and out.
2. Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
3. Wash ice bin with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or
solvents.
REMEMBER:
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■
Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
■
It may take 3 to 4 days for the ice bin to completely fill, if no
ice is used.
■
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker.
■
Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply.
Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of
the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water
supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is
operating properly and is well maintained.
■
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.
They will break apart easily.
■
Do not store anything inside the ice bin.
REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
1. Remove the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”
2. Press power switch to OFF.
3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
4. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
■
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
■
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
5. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator looking like
new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner
and Polish.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact
does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To
order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”
