The Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
controls and dispenser pads. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
■
Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
■
Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.
The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
■
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.
■
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
■
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or
storage bin.
Style 1
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch, located on the left wall of the freezer door, can
only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed.
See the following section for bin removal instructions.
■
To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (up)
position.
■
To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the
OFF (down) position.
NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the
storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes
will raise the shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. When the
storage bin is at full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop
ice production, but the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the
ON (up) position.
Removing and Replacing the Ice Storage Bin:
1. Press down the release lever and tilt the bucket outward. Use
both hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up
and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to flip the ice maker On/Off switch
to the OFF (down) position when removing the storage bin.
The storage bin sensor, located on the left wall of the freezer
door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is
open or the storage bin is removed.
