Ice Production Rate
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Remember
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 use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
• Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
IMPORTANT:
• After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. Press the Water button on the dispenser
control panel. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the
dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow,
continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever
(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes.
This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.
Additional flushing may be required in some households. As
air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
NOTE: After five minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the
dispensing lever again.
• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to
the lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will
not make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater
quantities.
3. Remove the container to stop dispensing.
