Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser

IMPORTANT

You may want to change your ice cube size per your

preference or if you have low water pressure in your

home. The ice cube size function allows you to change

the cube size from the display panel. There are three

sizes: 1,2, and 3. The factory default is 1 (smallest).

This size should work well in most cases. If your water

pressure is low or you simply prefer a larger size, then

you can change to size 2. Size 3 should ONLY be used

in case of very low water pressure. Using size 3 with high

water pressure (above 70 psi) could result in overfilling

the ice maker. The excess water will spill into the ice bin

causing the existing ice to clump together.

To change cube size

1 Quickly press the CUBE button twice. You will see

one dash in the refrigerator temperature display. The

freezer temperature display will show ICE.

2 Press the refrigerator Up (+) and Down (-) buttons to

change the size. One dash will produce small cubes,

two dashes will produce medium cubes and three

dashes will produce large cubes.

3 Press the CUBE button again to save the setting.

Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply

or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice

maker by holding the On/Off soft-touch icon for three

(3) seconds.

• 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

• When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or

clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.

• 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.

CAUTION

If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened,

be sure the softener is properly maintained.

Chemicals from a water softener can damage the

ice maker.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals,

especially prior to vacation or moving.

1 Turn off the ice maker.

2 Remove the ice bin by

pulling straight out.

3 Empty and carefully

clean the ice bin with

mild detergent. Do not

use harsh or abrasive

cleaners. Rinse with

clear water.

4 Allow the ice bin to

dry completely before

replacing in the

freezer.

5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer)

causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and freeze

together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice

cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the

dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean

as explained above.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp

instrument to break up the ice. This could damage

the ice bin.

To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before

replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely

dry.

IMPORTANT

When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT

rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is

accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by

turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice

bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the

auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice

bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh

food door also may not close properly causing warm

air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
