KitchenAid 12828134 User Manual

■

To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to 
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure 
the ice maker will not continue to operate. 

■

Normal Ice Production: The ice maker should produce a 
complete batch of ice every 3 hours. If ice is not being made 
fast enough, adjust the Freezer Control to a lower (colder) 
number in steps. Wait 24 hours. If necessary, gradually adjust 
the Freezer Control to the lowest setting, waiting 24 hours 
between each adjustment.

■

OptimIce Production (on some models): The ice maker 
should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 
24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the OptimIce  
production feature, press the OptimIce touchpad.

■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. 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.

■

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

Your model may have some or all of these features.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your 
individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and 
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make 
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the 
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when 
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to 
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. 
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter 
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass 
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when 
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
