Turn the ice maker on/off:
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 bin 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.
Increase ice production rate:
In normal ice production, 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. Wait 24 hours between each
increase.
Care for ice storage bin:
1. Empty the ice bin. 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.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.

FREEZER FEATURES

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.
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.
It may take three to four days for the ice bin to completely fill,
if no ice is used.

Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside
a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in
the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice
crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per cubic foot
[907-1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave
enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
