Iceu,d Nuter Important: Do not remove ice storage bin without pressing ice maker switch to OFF. Removing ice storage bin while ON could result in ice falling into the ice storage bin enclosure, blocking the dispenser and disabling the bin from being locked into proper _osition. Note: Access to the ice storage bin will be limited with the left fresh food door opened at 90 degrees. Move cabinet forward to enable door to open sufficiently for ice storage bin access. To Install: Important: Ice bin must be locked in place for proper ice dispensing. If necessary, turn auger driver behind ice bin counterclockwise to properly align ice bin with auger driver. Press the switch ON to activate er Driver ice maker. Slide bin into guide rails located on either side of the enclosure. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt. Raise the front slightly and push the ice bin completely in. An audible "click" is heard when the ice bin is located correctly. Operating Instructions • Confirm ice bin is in place. • After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2 ° F (-18 ° to -17 ° C), ice maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice approximately every hour. • Allow approximately 3 to 6 hours after installation to receive first harvest of ice. • Discard ice created within the first 12 hours of operation to verify system is flushed of impurities. • Stop ice production by pressing the ON/OFF switch located on the front of the ice maker. The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the supply line. When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off. Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage bin and the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally. • If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly before replacing it. • Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can cause the ice maker to malfunction. • Press the switch on the ice maker front to OFF when the water supply is to be shut off for several hours. 13
