Servicing The Ice Dispenser
Certain conditions witt require you to
service the ice maker and dispenser.
The unit has been designed so that you
can do such servicing with a minimum
of effort.
Cold dry air has to circulate in the
freezer to maintain a safe freezing tem-
perature. Thus. cubes stored in the bin
will tend to evaporate and flow together
if not used regularly
You should remove the bin and
empty the contents:
= After the first few harvests of ice have
been made by a newly installedunit,
This will allow any impurities in the
line to be flushed out,
If you are going to be gone for longer
than a week_ Raise the ice maker
shut-off arm to stop ice production
and prevent the cubes from freezing
into a mass around the ice auger.
2 To stop ice production or to remove
the ice bin: take hold of wire arm
near black housing, and lift up, There
will be an audible "click" when ice
maker shuts off. The wire arm stays
in the upper' position, (See Fig, 19,)
As long as the arm is in this position,
ice wilt not be made. The unit will
continue to dispense cubes from the
ice bin until oil have been used_
