The Dispenser Lock The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets. NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser lever. To turn off the ice maker, see the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section. ■■ To lock the dispenser, press LOCK. To unlock the dispenser, press UNLOCK. Ice Maker and Storage Bin ■■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. ■■ 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. ■■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism. ■■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.

Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made. Turning the Ice Maker On/Off Style 2 The On/Off switch is located on the bottom of the Ice Maker, can be accessed by lifting and opening the ice maker door. ■■ To turn on the ice maker, lift open the ice maker door, flip the switch to the ON (right) position. ■■ To manually turn off the ice maker, lift open the ice maker door, flip the switch to the Off (left) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. When the storage bin is at full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop ice production, but the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the On (up) position. 4
