2. Pull the storage bin out until resistance is felt. Lift up the front 

of the ice bin and remove.

3. Press the switch to the OFF position
To Replace the Ice Storage Bin:

IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to turn the auger driver, behind 
the ice bin, counterclockwise to properly align the ice bin with the 
auger driver. The ice storage bin must be locked in place for 
proper ice dispensing.
1. Press the switch to the ON position
2. Slide the ice bin into the guide rails located on either side of 

the enclosure.

3. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt. Raise the front 

slightly and push the ice bin in until an audible “click” is heard.

■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to completely 
fill the ice storage bin.

■

The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches 
of ice in a 24-hour period. 

■

To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator 
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours 
between adjustments. 

■

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 bin. This 
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism. 

■

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice 
storage bin.

Water and Ice Dispenser

■

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the 
water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the 
water dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 
5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water 
begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the 
dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 
4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the 
filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water 
filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some 
households. As air is cleared from the system, water may 
spurt out of the dispenser. 

NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the 
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To 
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the 
dispensing lever again. 

■

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill 
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh 
supply.

■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced.

■

The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.

■

The Dispense Water control allows you to fill containers that 
will not fit within the dispenser area, such as sport bottles.

1. Select either water or cubed ice by touching “Water” or “Ice” 

on the control panel. The light above the control indicates your 
selection. 

2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the 
lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not 
make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the container to stop dispensing. 

■

The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be 
changed.

■

When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn 
the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you 
may choose either On or Auto. 

Auto: The light sensor monitors the light level in the room. The 
dispenser light will illuminate at half-power when the light level is 
low. To activate the Auto option press the Light touch pad. The 
Auto indicator light will illuminate. 
On: For continuous light, press the Light touch pad a second 
time. The On indicator light will illuminate.
Off: To turn the dispenser light off, press the Light touch pad a 
third time.
