Ice Production Rate

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches

of ice in a 24-hour period.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator

temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours

between adjustments.

Remember

■ 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.

■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This

can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin.

Water and Ice Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the

water system. Press the Water button on the dispenser control

panel. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the

dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.

Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow,

continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever

(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This

will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.

Additional flushing may be required in some households. As

air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the

dispenser.

NOTE: After five minutes of continuous dispensing, the

dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To

continue dispensing, remove the container and press the

dispensing lever again.

■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh

supply.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

Dispense Ice and Water

1. Select water or cubed ice by pressing the corresponding

button on the dispenser control panel. A light above the

button indicates your selection.

2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the

lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not

make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the container to stop dispensing.

Dispenser Light

NOTES:

■ The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be

changed.

■ When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn

the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you

may choose either On or Auto.

Auto: The dispenser light will illuminate at half-power when the

light sensor detects the light levels in the room are low. To turn the

dispenser light on, press the Light button. The Auto indicator light

will illuminate.

On: For continuous light, press the Light button a second time.

The On indicator light will illuminate.

Off: To turn the dispenser light off, press the Light button a third

time.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.
