The Dispenser Light

The dispenser light can be turned on by pressing the ON button.
The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed. See “Troubleshooting” for more information.

When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the
light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may
choose either ON or NIGHT LIGHT.
ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn on the dispenser light.
NIGHT LIGHT: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select
the Night Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to
become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room
darkens.

OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn off the dispenser
light.
The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working,
be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode).
See “Troubleshooting” for more information.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to
the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
dispenser levers. The ice and water dispensers will not work.
Style 1: Press the LOCK button to lock the dispenser. Press the
UNLOCK button to unlock the dispenser.
Style 2: Press and hold the LOCK OUT button to lock the
dispenser. Press and hold the LOCK OUT button a second time to
unlock the dispenser.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

(on some models)

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

Style 1

To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still
be dispensed, but no more can be made.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Style 2

The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the
freezer compartment.

To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.

To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF
(right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will
remain in the ON (left) position.
REMEMBER:

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.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

Style 1

1. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom and then slide it

back toward the rear.

2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser

will not work.

5. To restart ice production, push the wire shutoff arm down to

the ON position. Make sure the door is closed tightly.

Style 2

1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press

the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the
OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The
sensor cover (“flipper door”) on the left wall of the freezer
stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or
the storage bin is removed.

2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make

sure it is securely in place.
