In-Door ice Bin
HOWTOUSE27
Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
__z_ CAUTION
• Keep hands and tools out of the ice
compartment door and dispenser chute.
Failure to do so may result in damage or
personal injury.
• The icemaker will stop producing ice when
the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more
ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin
in the freezer compartment. During use,
the ice can become uneven causing the
icemaker to misread the amount of ice
cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the
ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce
this problem.
• Storing cans or other items in the ice bin wi
damage the icemaker.
• Keep the ice compartment door closed
tightly. If the ice compartment door is not
closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will
freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.
This could also cause the icemaker to stop
producing ice.
• If the ON/OFF switch on the icemaker is
set to OFF for an extended period of time,
the ice compartment will gradually warm
up to the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment. To prevent ice cubes from
melting and leaking from the dispenser,
ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the
icemaker is set to OFF for more than afew
hours.
2 To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the
front handle, slightly lift the lower part,
and slowly pull out the bin as shown.
Assembling fhe In-Door Ice Bin
1 Carefully insert the in-door ice bin while
slightly slanting it to avoid contact with the
icemaker.
2 Avoid touching the ice-detecting sensor
when replacing the ice bin. See the label
on the ice compartment door for details.
Defaching the In-Door Ice Bin
1 Gently pult the handle to open the ice
compartment.
_Dk__ CAUTION
en handling the ice bin,
eep hands away from the
cemaker tray area to avoid
ersonal injury.
28 HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker
* Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and
sent to the dispenser. The icemaker will
produce 70-210 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly
installed refrigerator to begin making ice Wait
72 hours for full ice production to occur
• Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full
When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately
6 to 8 (12-16 oz or 340N455 cc) glasses of ice
• The water pressure must be between 20 and 120
psi (140 and 830 kPa)on models without a water
filter and between 40 and 120 psi (280 and 830
kPa) on models with a wafer filter to produce the
normal amount and size of ice cubes
• Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting
sensor can interrupt ice production
Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times
for proper operation

r-Z_ CAUTION
• The first ice and water dispensed may
include particles or odor from the water
supply line or the water tank,
• Throw away the first few batches of ice
(about 24 cubesL This is also necessary if
the refrigerator has not been used for a long
time,
• Never store beverage cans or other items in
the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the
containers may burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the
water filter and water supply. If the problem
continues, contact a Sears or other qualified
service center. Do not use the ice or water
until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser.
Children may play with or damage the
controls.
• The ice passage may become blocked with
frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the
frost that accumulates by removing the ice
bin and clearing the passage with a rubber
spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help
prevent frost buildup.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it
with water or other beverages. Splashing
may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass
that already contains liquid.
• Never use aglass that is exceptionally
narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice
passage and refrigerator performance may
be affected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from
the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the
outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of
the ice door and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn
off the water supply and contact a qualified
service center.
When You Should Turn fhe
Icemaker Off
• When the water supply will be shut off
for several hours.
• When the ice bin is removed for more
than one or two minutes.
• When the refrigerator will not be used
for several days.
The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the
OFF position.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
