Note:
- When the ice maker is turned off, ice making is disabled even if you press the Cubed Ice or Crushed Ice buttons on the dispenser panel. To enable ice making, you must turn the ice maker on.

When you select the Ice Off mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket.
If you leave ice cubes in the bucket, the ice cubes may clump together, making it difficult to remove them.
- To remove the ice bucket safely and avoid injury, hold the bottom of the bucket with one hand and the side of the bucket with the other. Then, lift up on the ice bucket, and pull it straight out.
- To put the ice bucket back in, push it firmly straight back in. If the ice bucket is not pushed firmly into place, the ice in the bucket can melt. If the bucket does not fit, turn the helix 90 degrees and try again.
Note: The inside of the ice bucket is very cold when the refrigerator is operating. Do not reach deep inside the ice bucket.
