TIPS
• The dispensers will work only with the freezer
door closed.
• The ice dispenser will work only if the bin is
pushed all the way in.
• Use only Ice crescents from the Ice maker.
Other shapes won't dispense properly.
• When you need more ice than a glass or
two, scoop it from the bin or remove the bin.
The dispenser motor may stop if the dis
penser bar is held in too long. It will be ready
to run again in about 3 minutes
• Ice stored too long can go stale...like water.
Throw it away.
• Ice can shrink. Cold moving air slowly evap
orates them. If you use ice often, you may
never notice the change.
• Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice
maker be connected to a softened water sup
ply. Water softener chemicals such as salt from
a malfunctioning softener can damage the
ice maker mold and lead to poor quality ice. If
a softened water supply cannot be avoided,
then it is important that the water softener be
well maintained and operating properly.
