Control Panel Descriptions

FAST ICE
Select the Fast Ice feature when you have an upcoming need for a large amount of ice and the ice bin is low or empty. Fast Ice mode will produce a greater quantity of ice in a 24-hour period.

CLEAN
It is recommended that you clean the ice maker when the “Cleaning Needed” light is illuminated or 9 months has elapsed, or ice production decreases significantly. To clean your ice maker, see “Ice Maker System” in the “Exterior Cleaning” section of the Owner’s Manual.

DOOR AJAR ALARM

The Ice-Making Process

Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected. This produces a sheet of ice with low mineral content.
When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the sheet into individual cubes.
The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.
Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice-making cycle.

WATER STATUS LIGHT
The water filter status lights will help you know when to change your water filter.

The “Order Filter” status light will be illuminated when it is time to order a replacement filter.
The “Replace Filter” status light will be illuminated when it is time to replace the filter.
Replacing the disposable water filter with a new filter will automatically reset the filter status tracking feature.

REPLACE WATER FILTER
To purchase a replacement water filter, see “Accessories.” Replace the disposable water filter when indicated on the water filter status display or at least every 9 months. If the ice making rate decreases before the Replace Filter light illuminates, then replace the filter.

Locate the water filter compartment in the right-hand side of the control housing. See Step 3 in the “Install Water Filter” section.
Turn the water filter counterclockwise (to the left), and pull it straight out of the compartment.
NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.
Install the replacement water filter by following steps 2 through 5 in the “Install the Water Filter” section.
Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the ice maker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.

NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.
