Key Eject Lock; Ice Maker - Whirlpool EVL201NXRQ04 Use & Care Manual

Fast Freeze (on some models)
This setting causes the freezer to run continuously, driving the
freezer temperature to the coldest possible temperature. To
activate, adjust the control knob to the igloo icon, which
represents the fast freeze setting. Use this feature just before
adding large amounts of unfrozen foods. For best food quality, do
not exceed 3 Ibs (1,350 g) per cubic foot (28.32 L). Return to your
normal setting after 24 to 48 hours.
Temperature Alarm (on some models)
The temperature monitor alarm is located to the left of the
temperature control and sounds an audible alarm if the
temperature reaches 10°F (-12°C) or more above normal for the
selected setting.
The alarm is controlled by a three position switch.
I The proper setting for normal freezer use. The alarm
is on and the amber light will be illuminated.
Prevents the alarm from sounding when the freezer
is warm, such as during start-up or defrosting.
Tests the alarm regardless of temperature.
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the lock
while turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left
in the lock.

To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off
NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
• 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 fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes
will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.
• 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.
Ice Production Rate
The ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of
ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn
the Temperature Control toward a higher (colder) number in half
number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to
between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn
the Temperature Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours
between each increase.
Remember
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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always
give the model and serial number of your freezer when requesting
a replacement key.
