Ice Maker And Ice Storage Bin; Ice Production Rate; Style 1 - Ice Maker In The Refrigerator; Style 2 - Ice Maker In The Freezer - KitchenAid KFIS29PBMS00 Use & Care Manual

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice,
flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See
"Water Dispenser."
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days for the
storage bin to fill completely following installation.
• 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.
• If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice
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.
Ice Production Rate
• The ice maker should produce approximately 3 Ibs of ice per
day under normal operation.
• To increase ice production, select the increased ice
production feature from the Options menu on the control
panel. See "Using the Controls."
