Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice,
flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See the
"Water Dispenser" section.
Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first
n
batch of ice. Discard the first 3 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
n
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 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
n
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.
