Jenn-Air JRS203, JRS226 Starting or Stopping Your Ice Maker 0RSD226 Only, How the Ice Maker Works

Ice cubes that have been in the ice storage bin for a considerable length of time may pick up off-flavor taste, stick together, and gradually become smaller. We suggest that these cubes be thrown away. We also suggest using an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator for food odor absorption.

Certain sounds may accompany the various operating cycles of the ice maker. The mo- tor may have a slight hum--a dull thump may be heard as cubes are ejected--the cubes

will rattle as they fall into an empty storage bin--water valve may click or "buzz" occa- sionally. All of these sounds are normal and are no cause for alarm.

Note: When dispensing ice cubes, it is important that you use only the ice supplied by this ice maker. Ice from any other source could cause an ice jam. If this happens, remove and discard all ice from the storage bin and any ice lodged in the ice chute.

Starting or Stopping Your Ice Maker

0RSD226 Only)

Your automatic ice maker is located near the _ top of the freezer compartment behind the

panel above the Automatic Dispenser bin. Re- move the panel in front of the ice maker by pulling the bottom right hand corner of the

panel forward. Then pull the top right hand corner forward and slide the panel out of the

sockets on the left side of the freezer line.4---

The ice maker has a wire sensor arm that is connected to a shut-off switch. This arm

stops the mechanism when the ice cube storage pan is full, and restarts it after several ice cubes have been used. You can use the stop arm to stop all productions of ice at

any time. All you need to do is raise the arm into the OFF position. The icemaker should be turned off (arm up) when:

1.Ice storage bin is to be removed for extended period of time.

2.Refrigerator is not to be used for a considerable time, such as vacations. Also, turn off the water supply to the ice maker in this instance, if practical.

3.Water supply is to be shut-off for several hours.
