After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can 

produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin 

in about three days.

When using the ice maker for the first time and in order 

for the ice maker to work properly, it is necessary to clear 

air from water filter tubing. Once ice maker begins making 

ice, allow the bucket to fill completely, then discard the first 

TWO FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least two days to 

completely fill the bucket on regular ice making mode or 1½ 

days on fast ice mode.

The ice maker produces approximately four pounds of ice 

every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.

Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as 

soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect 

a water supply, lift the ice maker’s wire signal arm to turn it 

off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud 

chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Ice production is controlled by lifting/lowering the ice mak-

er’s wire signal arm. To gain access to the ice maker, pull 

the freezer drawer out. Lift the 

wire signal arm to turn the 

ice maker OFF and lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.

signal arm

•  If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or 

the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker by 

lifting wire signal arm.

•  Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. 

Empty the ice bin as explained below.

•  The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is 

operating:

 

- Motor running

 

- Ice dropping into ice bin

 

- Water valve opening or closing

 

- Running water

Your refrigerator is equipped with a  Fast Ice Function, that 

will, if activated at your user interface, allow an increase in 

ice production. You do not need to deactivate it, if not need-

ed, your refrigerator will operate on normal conditions.

If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure 

the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water 

softener can damage the ice maker.

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, espe-

cially prior to vacation or moving.

1.  Turn off the ice maker.

2.  Remove the ice bin.

3.  Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild deter-

gent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with 

clean water.

4.  Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in 

the freezer.

5.  Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

 

• An extended power failure (one hour or longe)

               causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and freeze

               together.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean 

as explained above.

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break 

up the ice. This could damage the ice bin. To loosen stuck 

ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make 

sure it is completely dry.
