TIPS
*The dispensers will work only with the freezer
door closed.
aThe ice dispenser will work only if the bin is
pushed all the way in.
muse only ice crescents from the ice maker.
Other shapes won't dispense properly.
*When you need more ice than a glass or two,
scoop it from the bin or remove the bin. The dis-
penser motor may stop if the dispenser bar is
held in too long. It will be ready to run again in
about 3 minutes.
l
Ice stored too long can go stale...like water.
Throw it away.
l
Ice can shrink. Cold moving air slowly evapo-
rates them. If you use ice often, you may never
notice the change.
. Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice
maker be connected to a softened water supply.
Water softener chemicals such as salt from a
malfunctioning softener can damage the ice
maker mold ana lead to poor quality ice. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, then
it is important that the water softener be well
maintained and operating properly.
Plan to remove and empty the storage bin:
l
If the ice dispenser has not, or will not be used for a
week or more;
9 If a power failure causes ice in the bin to melt and
freeze together;
l

3. Lift the front of the storage bin. Pull it out.
4. Empty the bin. Use hot or warm water to melt the
ice if necessary. Never use anything sharp to
break up ice in the bin. This can damage the bin
and dispenser mechanism.
5. Wash with mild detergent. Rinse well. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleansers or solvents.
6. When replacing the bin, make sure it is pushed
in all the way. Push the signal arm down to the
ON position to restart ice production.
The night light uses a heavy-duty 1 O-watt bulb. When
it burns out, purchase another from your dealer.
