To Stop Dispensing
Release pressure from cradle and
withdraw slowly to catch last ice
cubes or drops of water.
Some slight dripping may occur
following dispensing of chilled
water. If excessive, the spill should
be wiped dry immediately.
Do not pour water in spill shelf
because it is not
self-draining—
pour it in kitchen sink. The shelf
and its grille should be cleaned
regularly according to instructions
on page 18.
If Ice Clumps Form in
Storage Bin...
The Icemaker ejects cubes in
groups of eight, and it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together.
However, if you don’t use the ice
very often, ice clumps may form
in the storage bin and can clog
the dispenser.
If this happens:
●
Remove storage bin from freezer
compartment.
. Break up ice clumps with
fingertip pressure and discard
remaining clumps.
●
Replace bin before remaining
cubes melt and fuse together.
Lift the left corner to free the bin
from the shelf, and pull the bin
straight out while supporting it
at front and back.
To Replace Ice Cube
Storage Bin...
Slide the bin back until the tab on
the bin locks into the slot in the
shelf.

If Ice Is Not Used Often...
Old ice cubes will become cloudy
and taste stale. Empty ice storage
bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to allow
storage bin to cool before replacing
it—otherwise ice cubes will stick
to the metal auger.

If This Is Your First
Icemaker...
You’ll hear occasional sounds that
may be unfamiliar. These are normal
icemaking sounds and are not
cause for concern.

Your ice cubes can only
be as fresh-tasting as the
water that produces them.
That’s why it’s a good
idea to purify your water
with a water filter.
