MAKER TiPS
,, Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.
Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal
arm is in its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then
produce more ice.

separated.
• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during
vacations.
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time,
turn the water supply valve to a closed position.
TURNINGYOUR iCE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the
water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower
the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position.
TURNINGYOUR iCE MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker, lift the
wire signal arm until it clicks and
locks in the "up" or OFF position.
The ice maker also turns off
automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model
has an adjustable freezer shelf,
place the shelf in the lower
position, so that the wire signal
arm will hit the ice when the
container is full.
