CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to
break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin and
dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing
the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate
the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated,
you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns
(seebelow)untiltheicebintsintoplacewiththedrive
mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when
replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice.
The fresh food door also may not close properly causing
warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
IMPORTANT
You may want to change your ice cube size per your
preference or if you have low water pressure in your
home. The ice cube size function allows you to change
the cube size from the display panel. There are three
sizes: 1, 2, and 3. The factory default is 1 (smallest).
This size should work well in most cases. If your water
pressure is low or you simply prefer a larger size, then
you can change to size 2. Size 3 should ONLY be used
in the case of very low water pressure. Using size 3
with high water pressure (above 70 psi) could result in
overllingtheicemaker.Theexcesswaterwillspillinto
the ice bin causing the existing ice to clump together.
AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER (CONTINUED)
To change cube size
1 Quickly press the CUBE button twice. You will see
one dash in the refrigerator temperature display.
The freezer temperature display will show ICE.
2 Press the refrigerator Up (^) and Down (v) buttons
to change the size. One dash will produce small
cubes, two dashes will produce medium cubes and
three dashes will produce large cubes.
3 Press the CUBE button again to save the setting.
