CARE AND CLEANING
CLEAN THE ICE STORAGE BIN
NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together
in the ice bin. Ice may be dispensed or used
more frequently which will break up the ice.
It is recommended that the ice container be
emptied and cleaned as needed.
To clean the ice storage bin:
1.
Empty the ice container. Use warm water to
melt the ice if necessary.
NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break
up the ice in the bin or bucket. 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.
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.
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached
■
at the corners. They will break apart easily.
For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire
■
shutoff arm up or down.
Do not store anything on top of the ice
■
maker or in the ice storage bin/bucket.

WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system. Systems
certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable
cysts.
CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
The water filter is located in the base grille
below the freezer compartment door. It is not
necessary to remove the base grille to remove
the filter.
1.
Remove the filter by pressing the eject
button and pulling straight out on the filter
cap.
NOTES:
Avoid twisting the cap when removing
the filter because this could cause the
cap to come off. If this occurs, replace
the cap and pull the filter straight out.
There will be water in the filter. Some
spilling may occur.
