Step 1

Locate the "Ice Off/Lock" button on the freezer door display. Press it once to disable the ice making feature. This will prevent ice from being made. Press again to resume ice production. If the ice maker will be disabled for a few days, open the freezer, pull the ice bucket lock lever forward and remove the bucket. Empty the bucket of all ice, then push the bucket back in place.

Step 2

Press the "Power Freeze" button on the door display once to activate this feature. Using this will produce more ice at a quicker rate. Disable it by pushing the same button. Note that using this feature will cause the freezer internal temperature to drop for a few hours after use.

Step 3

Select the type of ice as needed to adjust the size of the ice, by pressing the "Ice/Water" button until the type of ice — either cubed or crushed — is shown on the display.

Step 4

Open the fridge section and adjust the temperature control dial for the freezer to a lower temperature number if ice is coming out small, in a less than desirable amount or partially melted.

Tips

Use the "Ice Off" feature if you do not need ice for a while, such as while you're on vacation.

Dispense ice regularly to keep fresh ice coming, as the system will hold off on making new ice if the bin is full.
