Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser
• If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to remove 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 the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve.
IMPORTANT: When removing or replacing the ice bin, do not
rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally turned,
you must realign the auger by turning it in 90° turns until the ice bin
fits into place with the drive mechanism.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in
the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together and jam the dispenser
mechanism.
2. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together
in the bin and jam the dispenser mechanism. Remove the ice storage
bin and shake to loosen the cubes.
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice.
This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER
Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals, particularly
before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice dispenser sticks.
1. Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker’s On/Off switch.
2. Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean
the container with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice container to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice
container.
4. Replace the ice container. Press the ice maker’s On/Off switch to
resume ice production.
Do not use the ice chute as a handle when
removing or replacing the ice storage bin.
