Ice Maker And Ice Storage Bin; (On Some Models) - KitchenAid KRMF706ESS User Instructions

To Dispense Ice:
1. Select the desired type of ice. To switch between cubed ice
and crushed ice, press ICE/WATER.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
paddle to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not
make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after
removing the glass from the dispenser paddle. The dispenser may
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin

(on some models)

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice,
flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See
"Water Dispenser."
Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first
batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
Allow 2 to 3 days to fill the ice storage bin.
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.
If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice
using a plastic utensil and discard. Do not use anything sharp
to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and
the dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.
