Operation Manual

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.
Caution
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage
the ice maker. If the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is maintained to work properly.
Cleaning The Ice Dispenser
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, particularly
before you take a vacation or move.
Caution
When removing the ice bin, do not grip the ice chute
(beneath the front of the bin) as a handle. Surfaces in
the ice chute may be sharp.
To clean the ice dispenser:
1 Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker’s On/Off switch.
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse
with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer
door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Press the ice maker’s Off/On switch to
resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes
in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean
as explained above. Never use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage
bin and dispenser mechanism.
Important
When removing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger
inside the bin. The auger must align with its drive
mechanism when the bin is replaced. If you accidentally
move the auger, realign by making quarter turns until
the ice bin fits back in place.
Changing The Filters
Locating The Filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and air filtering
systems. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water,
as well as the water used to produce ice. The air filter removes
odors and impurities from the refrigerator compartment.
