20 AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained in Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin. • Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated. • If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn Off the ice maker. • If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice container. • The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating: 4. Allow the ice storage bin to dry completely before replacing it in the freezer. 5. Remove ice chips and clean the ice storage bin, shelf and the freezer door chute. 6. Replace the ice storage bin. Turn On the ice maker to resume ice production. Remove and empty the ice storage bin if: • An extended power failure (1 hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the dispenser mechanism. • You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism. - Motor running - Ice dropping into ice container - Water valve opening or closing Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above. - Ice loosening from tray - Running water • When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes. • Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations. If you turn Off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve. CAUTION Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is maintained to work properly. Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin Clean the ice storage bin at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move. CAUTION NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism. IMPORTANT When removing or replacing the ice storage bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice storage bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice storage bin fits into place with the drive mechanism If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice storage bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The freezer door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the freezer compartment. To clean the ice storage bin: 1. Turn Off the ice maker. 2. Remove the ice storage bin by lifting up and out. 3. Empty and carefully clean the ice storage bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Auger
