Ice Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as
explained on the next page.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off,
turn off the ice maker by pressing the On/Off switch to the "O" position.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the
ice container.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
• Motor running
• Ice dropping into ice container
• Water valve opening or closing
• Ice loosening from tray
• Running water
• Turn off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
• If you turn off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off the
water supply valve.
