Ice Maker and Ice Storage B)n (on some models)
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 (1.4 kg) 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 Control(s)."

Remove and Replace the Ice Storage Bin
• Remove the ice storage bin by inserting your fingers into the
hole at the base of the bin and squeezing the latch to release
the bin from the compartment. Lift the storage bin up and pull
it straight out.
• Replace the storage bin inside the ice compartment and push
down to make sure it is firmly in place.
Style 2 - Ice Maker in the Freezer (on some models)
Turn the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin
to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from
dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment.
After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.
