Ice Maker and Storage Bin
(on some models)
■
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 can only be accessed when the ice storage bin
has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on
the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. See the
following section for bin removal instructions.
■
To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
■
To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF
(right) position.
NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the
storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. The ice
maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the
control will remain in the ON (left) position.
Removing and Replacing 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 turn the ice maker control to the
OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The
sensor cover (“flipper door”), located on the right wall of the
freezer door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the
door is open or the storage bin is removed.
2. Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door, then tilting it back
into an upright position. The release lever will click when the
bin is securely in place.
Style 2
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
■
To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
■
To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still
be dispensed, but no more can be made.
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 wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin:
1. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
