AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
Useful hints on the automatic ice maker
To turn the ice maker on/off, press the On/Off button .
If the freezer compartment door is open, make sure the
inside flap is not blocked as it serves as lock sensor that
shuts off the transfer of ice from the automatic ice maker
into the bucket installed in the door.
To remove and replace the ice bucket:
1.
Place four fingers in bucket base opening and rest thumb
on the release button.
2.
Holding the base of the bucket with both hands, press
the release button and lift the bucket up and out. It is not
necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF
position. The ice maker will not produce ice without the
bucket installed in the door.
• Normal Ice Production
should produce approximately
7 to 9 batches of ice in a 24-hour period.
Ice bucket care:
1.
Empty the bucket. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
Never use anything sharp
to break up the ice
in the bucket. This can cause damage to the ice bucket and
the dispenser mechanism.
2.
Wash the ice bucket with a mild detergent, rinse well and
dry thoroughly.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
On/Off
NOTE
: Do not turn the ice maker on until it is connected to
the water supply.
•
It is normal for ice cubes to be stick together at the
corners. They can be separated easily.
•
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer compartment
is cold enough to make ice.
This can take overnight.
•
Good water quality is important for good ice quality.
Water softener chemicals such as salt can damage the
ice maker and lead to poor quality ice.
