The chime will sound until the door is closed or Door Alarm is turned off. ■■ Press the Door Alarm touch pad to turn this feature on or off. The indicator light will be lit when the Door Alarm feature is on. Ice Maker IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See "Water Dispenser." Turning the Ice Maker On/Off To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. 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. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down. Max Cool The Max Cool feature assists with periods of high refrigerator use, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures. ■■ Press Max Cool to set the freezer and refrigerator to the lowest temperature settings. Press Max Cool again to return to the normal refrigerator set point. NOTE: The Max Cool feature will automatically shut off in approximately 12 hours. Filter Reset The Filter Reset control allows you to restart the water filter status tracking feature each time you replace your water filter. See "Water Filtration System." ■■ Press and hold the Filter Reset touch pad for 3 seconds, until the Order or Replace light turns off. User Preferences The control center allows you to set user preferences, if desired. Temperature Display (F_C) This preference allows you to change the temperature display. F - Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit C - Temperature in degrees Celsius 14 NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker. Ice Production Rate ■■ The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice approximately every 3 hours. ■■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours between adjustments. Remember ■■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. 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.
