TIPS
l
The ice dispenser will work only with the
freezer door closed.
l
The ice dispenser will work only if the bin is
pushed all the way in.
l
Use only ice crescents from the ice maker.
Other shapes won't dispense properly.
l
When you need more ice than a glass or two,
scoop it from the bin or remove the bin. The
dispenser 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.
l
Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice
maker be connected to a softened water sup-
ply. Water softener chemicals such as salt from
a malfunctioning softener can damage the
ice maker mold and 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.
l
If a powerfailurecauses ice in the bin to melt and
freeze together.
l
If the ice dispenser is not used regularly.
