Ice Maker and Storage Bin
(on some models) Accessory
Style 1 - Normal and Maximum Ice Maker
To turn the ice maker on:
The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shut-off arm located
on the side of the ice maker. To turn the ice maker on, simply
lower the wire shut-off arm.
NOTE: The ice maker will not make ice until the freezer is cold
enough. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first three batches of ice produced.
To turn the ice maker off:
■ Automatic turn off: As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the
ice storage bin. The ice cubes will raise the wire shut-off arm
to the OFF (arm up) position.
■ Manual turn off: Lift the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up)
position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker
will not continue to operate.
■ To increase ice production rate: Maximum Ice Production (on
some models): In maximum ice production, the ice maker
should produce approximately 10 to 14 batches of ice in a
24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice
production feature, push the switch to MAX.
■ Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, the
ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice
in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn
the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half
number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to
between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually
turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24
hours between each increase.
Style 1 - Ice Maker Storage Bin
To remove and replace the ice bin:
1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.
2. Lift the wire shut-off arm so it clicks into the OFF (up)
position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be
made.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work. Push the wire shut-off arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is
closed tightly.
Style 2 - Ice Maker
To turn the ice maker on:
The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment. To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the
ON (left) position.
NOTE: The ice maker will not make ice until the freezer is cold
enough. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first three batches of ice produced.
To turn the ice maker off:
■ Automatic turn off: The ice maker sensors will automatically
stop ice production but the control will remain in the ON (left)
position.
■ Manual turn off: Slide the control to the OFF (right) position.
Style 2 - Ice Storage Bucket
To remove and replace 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, depress the
release button and lift the bucket up and out. It is not
necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right)
position. The ice maker will not produce ice without the
bucket installed in the door.
