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.
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
Keep the wire signal arm in its "'up" or OFF position
until the freezer is connected to the water supply or
whenever the water supply is turned off.
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker
is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice loosening from tray
- Ice dropping into ice container
- Running water
- Water valve opening or closing
Wash the ice container in warm water with mild
detergent. Rinse well and dry.
• 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 the closed
position.
