AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
Turning the refrigerator ice
maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice
maker's On/Off feature on the appliance
control panel. Pressing the On/Off feature
turns the ice maker on & off.

IMPORTANT

Turning off the ice maker simply dis-
ables ice making. You will still be able to
dispense existing ice, and you will still be
able to dispense water.

NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. This
signal arm should not be used to manu-
ally stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install your
refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water
supply, set the ice maker's On/Off feature
to Off; otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve
may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, you may notice unusually
small ice cubes in the bucket or in dis-
pensed ice. This could occur in normal
operation of the ice maker. If you start see-
ing these more frequently, it may indicate
low water pressure or the water filter needs
to be replaced. As the water filter nears the
end of its useful life and becomes clogged
with particles, less water is delivered to the
ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if
it's been 6 months or longer since you last
changed your water filter, replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality house-
hold water may require you change the
filter more frequently.

If the water supply to your refrigerator
is softened, be sure to properly maintain
the softener. Chemicals from a water
softener can damage the ice maker.
If your refrigerator is not connected
to a water supply or the water supply
is turned off, turn off the ice maker as
described in the previous section.
The following sounds are normal when
the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
If you need a large quantity of ice at
one time, it is best to get cubes directly
from the ice bin.
Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as
explained below.
When dispensing cubed ice, it is
normal to have a small quantity of little
pieces along with the whole cubes.
To avoid splashing, dispense ice into
your container before adding liquids.
It is normal for ice to fill to the top of
the ice bin.
