30 OPERATION • Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will damage the icemaker. • Never use thin crystal glasses or containers to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice. If the icemaker is turned OFF for an extended period of time, the ice compartment will gradually warm up to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the icemaker is turned OFF for more than a few hours. The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost buildup. • Avoid touching the auto shutoff (feeler arm) when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice compartment door for details. 1 Carefully insert the in-door ice bin, slanting the top slightly to fit it under the icemaker.
