Ice Maker and Storage Bin

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 use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin.
■
This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser
mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The On/Off switch, located on the left wall of the freezer door, can
only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed.
See the following section for bin removal instructions.

OFF
To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (up) position.
■
To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the OFF
■
(down) position.
NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage
bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is made, the ice
cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the
shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. When the storage bin is at
full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop ice production, but
the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the ON (up) position.

hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to flip the ice maker On/Off switch to the
OFF (down) position when removing the storage bin. The storage bin
sensor, located on the right wall of the freezer door, stops the ice
maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is
removed.
