installation or after a long shut-off period.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power
cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle,
small ice chips mayformed and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it to
jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the
power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and
removing the ice chips, then restarting.
