to begin
producing
ice. You may notice the ice has an
"off-taste."
If so, discard
the first three
batches
of ice
produced.
After
that the "off-taste"
should
be gone.
Ice Production
Rate
The ice maker
should
produce
approximately
8 to
12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour
period.
Allow
3 days to
completely
fill the ice container.
To increase ice production,
lower the freezer and
refrigerator
temperature.
See "Using the Control(s)." Wait
24 hours between adjustments.
Remember
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 storage
bin and the dispenser
mechanism.
•
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice
storage bin.
