OPERATION
Ice Compartment
CAUTION
x
Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment
door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may
result in damage or personal injury.
Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the
ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold
air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator
compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to
stop producing ice.
In-Door Ice Bin
The icemaker stops producing ice when the indoor
ice bin is full. To make room for additional ice,
empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer
compartment. During use, the ice may stack unevenly
in the bin, causing the icemaker to misread the
number of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking
the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this
problem.
CAUTION
x
When handling the ice bin, keep hands away
from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal
injury.
x
Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
damage the icemaker.
x
Never use thin crystal glasses or containers to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or break
resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
If the icemaker is turned OFF for an extended period
of time, the ice compartment will gradually warm up
to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment.
To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from
the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the
icemaker is turned OFF for more than a few hours.
The ice passage may become blocked with frost
if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that
accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the
passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice
can also help prevent frost buildup.
