CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly
maintained. Chemicals from a water
softener can damage the ice maker.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or
moving.
1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice
bin with mild detergent. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse
with clean water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
Ice maker tips
• The following sounds are normal
when the ice maker is operating:
-
Motor running
-
Ice dropping into ice bin
-
Water valve opening or closing
-
Running water
• Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice
bin as explained below.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice
bin, ensure that the ice bin is fully
seated before closing the freezer door.
If the ice bin is not positioned correctly
the refrigerator will not dispense ice.
The freezer door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into
the freezer compartment.
Remove and empty the ice bin if an
extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin
to melt and refreeze together after
power is restored.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen
the cubes or clean as explained above.

of the ice bin. Occasionally move the
ice to the borders to allow the bin to fill
completely.
