AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Refrigerator Ice Maker (External Dispenser Models Only)
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at
regular intervals, especially prior to
vacation or moving.
Removing Ice Bin
1.
Turn off the ice maker.
2. Lift the ice bin upward, and then pull
it straight out to remove it.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice
bin with mild detergent. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse
with clean water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing it in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour
or longer) causes ice cubes in the
ice bin to melt and refreeze together
after power is restored, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser
frequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar
sharp instrument to break up the ice.
This could damage the ice bin and
dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice
bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice
bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated,
you must realign the auger by turning
it in 45 degree turns (see below) until
the ice bin fits into place with the drive
mechanism. If you do not properly
align the auger when replacing the ice
bin, the refrigerator will not dispense
ice. The refrigerator door also may not
close properly causing warm air to leak
into the refrigerator compartment.
