4. Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the
attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a
horizontal position.
NOTE: The cap will not be even with the base grille.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
Stylet:
The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bln and the ice
cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF {arm up)
position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
To Increase Ice Production Rate:
■ Normal Ice Production:
In normal ice production mode, the ice maker should
produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice in a
24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn
the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in
half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3,
move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours between each
increase.
■ Maximum Ice Production (on some models):
In maximum ice production, the ice maker should
produce approximately 10 to 14 batches of ice in a
24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice
production feature, push the switch to MAX.
Style 2:
The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1. To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)
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.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
Removing and Replacing the Storage Bin
Stylet:
1 . Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.
Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
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. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. 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.
Cleaning the Storage Bin
1 Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE: Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
2. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Remember
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days
to completely fill ice container.
■ Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker.
