Ice Dispenser Tips
1. Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container
and return it to the proper position. Ice maker will then produce more ice.
2. Occasionally shake container to keep ice separated.
3. If dispensing arm ispushed in for more than 4 minutes, the dispenser motor may
overload and stop. The overload protector will reset automatically after 3 or 4
minutes. If a large quantity of ice isneeded at one time, it isbest to remove cubes
directly from ice storage bin.
4. Certain sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating. They are:
• Motor operation
• Ice being loosened from the tray
• Ice dropping into the storage bin
• Running water
• Water valve opening or closing
Formore information on these operations, seeNormal Operating Soundssection.
5. Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer, or for long vacations.
6. If the ice maker is to be turned off for a long period of time, turn water supply
valve to the closed position.
Cleaning Ice Dispenser
Clean the dispenser and icestorage bin at regular intervals,particularly before you
take a vacation, move, or if ice dispenser sticks
1. Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the "up" or OFFposition.
2. Remove ice storage bin by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean bin with
mild detergent. Do not submerge auger while cleaning. Rinsewith clear water.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips, and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice storage
bin.
4. Replace ice storage bin. Lower the wire signal arm on the ice maker to the
"down" or ON position. Ice maker will resume production.
IMPORTANT: When removing or replacing ice bin, do not rotate the auger in the
ice bin. If auger is accidentally turned, you must realign the auger by turning it in
90 ° turns, until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. For further
instruction, see label on ice bucket.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causesicecubes in the icestorage
bin to melt, freeze together, and jam the dispenser mechanism.
2. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin
and jam dispenser mechanism. Remove ice storage bin, and shake to loosen
cubes.
