To turn the ice maker on/off: (Style 1)
The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shut-off arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fil! the ice storage bin and the ice
cubes will raise the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up)
position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
To remove and replace the ice bin: (Style 1)

3.
Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.

position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be
made.
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

To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. The ice
maker sensors will automatically stop ice production but the
control will remain in the ON (left) position.
To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
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.
■ Normal Ice Production should produce approximately 7 to 9
batches of ice in a 24-hour period.
To care for ice storage bin or bucket:
1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in
the bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container
and the dispenser mechanism.
2. Wash ice bin or bucket with a mild detergent, rinse well and
dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or
solvents.
REMEM8ER:
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■ Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
■ 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.
■ It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the comers.
They will break apart easily.
■ For Style 1, do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down.
■ Do not store anything on top or in the ice maker or ice bin or
bucket.
