Ice and Water
Important: Do not remove ice storage bin without
pressing ice maker switch to OFF. Removing ice
storage bin while ON could result in ice falling into the
ice storage bin enclosure, blocking the dispenser and
disabling the bin from being locked into proper
position.
Note:
Access to the ice storage bin will be limited
with the left fresh food door opened at 90 degrees.
Move cabinet forward to enable door to open
sufficiently for ice storage bin access.
To Install:
Important: Ice bin must be
locked in place for proper ice
dispensing. If necessary, turn
auger driver behind ice bin
counterclockwise to properly align
ice bin with auger driver.
• Press the switch ON to activate
ice maker. Slide bin into guide rails located on either
side of the enclosure. Push the ice bin in until
resistance is felt. Raise the front slightly and push
the ice bin completely in. An audible "click" is
heard when the ice bin is located correctly.
Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place.
• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18°
to -17° C), ice maker fills with water and begins
operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice
approximately every hour.
• Allow approximately 3 to 6 hours after installation to
receive first harvest of ice.
• Discard ice created within the first 12 hours of
operation to verify system is flushed of impurities.
• Stop ice production by pressing the ON/OFF switch
located on the front of the ice maker.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage bin
and the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally.

• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing it.
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the
ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can
cause the ice maker to malfunction.
• Press the switch on the ice maker front to OFF when
the water supply is to be shut off for several hours.
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic
ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This will help protect you from possible
Auger Driver
injury. It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored, usually appearing with a green-
bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration
can be a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household
plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in
an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice
maker. Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes
and contact your dealer to purchase and install a
water line filter.
• Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.
• Do not dispense ice directly into thin glass, fine
china or delicate crystal.
