ICE MAKER OPERATION
When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will
shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue
to cool and maintain the ice supply.
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice
compartment because they will freeze.
To turn off ice production: Raise the bin arm into
an upright and locked position. The unit will preserve
temperature for ice storage.
CAUTION
!
NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp
instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice
bucket instead.
During periods of limited use or high ambient
temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together.
Gently shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If not using
the ice maker regularly, empty the ice bucket periodically
to ensure fresh cubes.
It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. The cause is air
trapped in the water because of fast freezing. It is not
caused by the health, taste or chemical make up of the
water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you
drink.
Remove the ice bucket for emptying and cleaning. To
remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the
bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice bucket for
ice storage only.
If not intending to use the ice maker turn the
water supply valve off, it is important to raise
the bin arm of the ice maker (Figure 1). Failure
to raise the bin arm may result in damage to the
water valve.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You
may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve,
or ice dropping into the ice bucket.
