Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first
three batches of ice produced.
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.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin.
This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser
mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage bin
from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is made, the ice cubes
will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position. When the storage bin is at full capacity, the
ice maker will automatically stop ice production, but the ice maker On/
Off switch will remain in the ON (up) position.

hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to flip the ice maker On/Off switch to the

bin sensor, located on the left wall of the freezer door, stops the ice
