19 ICE MAKER Your appliance has an automatic ice maker that will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. The unit will not produce ice during the first 24 hours of initial operation. Turning Your Ice Maker On After you have completed connecting the plumbing, you must open the water supply valve. To turn the ice maker on, press on the appliance control display. Then press and hold ICE MAKER until the LEDs above ICE MAKER are illuminated. New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard these first cubes until the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste. Turning Your Ice Maker Off To turn the ice maker off, press on the appliance control display. Then press and hold ICE MAKER until the LEDs above ICE MAKER are turned off. Separately, the ice maker automatically stops producing ice when the bin is full, and then restarts when the level of ice drops. Note that when the ice maker is turned Off at the appliance control, the ice maker will not produce ice at all Ice Maker Tips IMPORTANT To ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up the water supply immediately or turn the ice maker off (see ICE MAKER in CONTROLS AND SETTINGS). CAUTION • DO NOT place the ice bin in the dishwasher. • Wash the ice bin in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry. • Turn off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations. Ice Maker Storage Bin Capacity The ice maker should produce about 4.5 lbs of ice per 24 hours, depending on conditions of use. How much ice can be stored in the ice bins? When completely full, the bins will hold about 8 lbs of ice. • If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position. • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin. The ice maker will then produce more ice. • Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated. • Keep the ice maker off until the ice maker is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off. • The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating: • Motor running • Ice loosening from tray • Ice dropping into ice container • Running water • Water valve opening or closing
