Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before turning on the ice
maker. See "Water and Ice Dispensers." Allow 24 hours to
produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice
produced. Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice container.
Style 1
To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
1. To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice
cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up)
position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
To Remove and Replace the Ice Bin:
1. Flip up the covering panel.
A.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull the ice bin forward.
4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed
tightly.

Style 2
To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1. To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice
maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the
control will remain in the ON (left) position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the OFF
(right) position.
To Remove and Replace the Ice Storage Bin:
1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press
the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the
OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The
sensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer
stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or
the storage bin is removed.
2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make
sure it is securely in place.
Clean the Ice Storage Bin
NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together in the ice bin. Ice may
be dispensed or used more frequently which will break up the ice.
It is recommended that the ice container be emptied and cleaned
as needed.
To clean the ice storage bin:
1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and
the dispenser mechanism.
2. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Remember
� Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to
completely fill ice container.
� Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
