4= Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a horizontal position. NOTE: The cap will not be even with the base grille. {on some _odes _,Acce!' so' x Turning the Ice Maker On/Off Style 1: The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located on the side of the ice maker. 1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. 2= To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate. Removing and Replacing the Storage Bin Style 1: 1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear. 2. Lift the wire shutoff 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 shutoff arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly. Style 2: 1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press the release button to lift the storage bin up and out. NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed. 2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place. \ 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. 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. Cleaning the Storage Bin 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. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism. 2. Wash ice bin 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. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container. • 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. 13
