Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before turning on the ice
maker. 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.

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)

To Remove and Replace the Ice Storage Bin:
1. Hold the base of the storage bin (located
on the back of the freezer door) 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 the ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
IMPORTANT:
„ 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.
„ 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.
„ It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.
They will break apart easily.
„ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin/bucket.
