To increase ice production rate:
■ 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 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 freezer shelf ice bin (Style 1):
1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.
Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) 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 shutoff arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is
closed tightly.
To turn the ice maker on/off (Style 2):
The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1. To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice
maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the
control will remain in the ON (left) position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
To remove and replace freezer door ice bucket (Style 2):
1. Place four fingers in bucket base opening and rest thumb on
the release button.
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 in the door.

To care for ice storage bin or bucket:
1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE: 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.
REMEMBER:
■ 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 corners.
They will break apart easily.
■ For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or
down.
■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice bin
or bucket.
