Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

To Remove the Ice Storage Bin:

1. Hold the base of the storage bin and press the release button

on the lower right.

2. Pull the storage bin out until resistance is felt. Lift up the front

of the ice bin and remove.

3. Press the switch to the OFF position

To Replace the Ice Storage Bin:

IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to turn the auger driver,

behind the ice bin, counterclockwise to properly align the ice bin

with the auger driver. The ice storage bin must be locked in place

for proper ice dispensing.

1. Press the switch to the ON position

2. Slide the ice bin into the guide rails located on either side of

the enclosure.

3. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt. Raise the front

slightly and push the ice bin in until an audible “click” is

heard.

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.

Water and Ice Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the

water system. Press the Water button on the 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.

■ The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

Dispense Ice and Water

1. Select water or cubed ice by touching the word “water” or

“ice” on the control panel. The light above the control

indicates your selection.

2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.

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.
