cLEANiNG tHE icE diSpENSER

Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,
particularly before you take a vacation or move, also clean
the dispenser if it sticks.
To clean the dispenser:
1. Switch the ice maker off by putting the wire signal arm
in the horizontal position.
2. Remove the ice container by lifting it up and out.
Empty and carefully clean the container with mild
detergent. Rinse carefully ensuring no traces of
detergent remain. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners. Allow the ice container to dry completely
before replacing it in the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips from the shelf and chute that support
the ice container; clean these areas.
4. Replace the ice container.
5. Turn the ice maker on by moving the wire signal arm.
WARNING
Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing or
replacing the ice storage bin. Do not put fingers up the
ice chute. Surfaces there may be sharp.
CAUTION
When removing or replacing the ice bin do not rotate
the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally turned,
you must realign the auger by turning it in 90º turns until
the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism.
auger
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes
ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze
together and jam the dispenser mechanism.
2. If the ice dispenser is not used frequently, ice cubes
will freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser
mechanism. If this happens remove the ice storage bin
and shake it to loosen the cubes.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break
up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin and
dispenser mechanism.
