cubes, the smaller they get.
To remove ice:
1.
Hold tray at both ends.
2. Twist slightly.

off the ice maker. When you replace the bin, push it in

Try to avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened

maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If you cannot
avoid a softened water supply, make sure the water
softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
