Automatic cemaker and ice Dispenser

See separate Wafer Line Installation Requirements induded in both the literature pack and on the back of the refrigeratar.

An automatic icemaker and a dispenser provide ice cubes and crushed ice through the freezer compartment door°

Here'show they work:

When selector switch is

set at CUBED iCE...

(1)Automatic icemaker fills the

(2)ice storage bin.

(3)Pressure on ice cradle activates

(4)motor-powered auger and feeds cubes into

glass through the

(5) chute.

When switch is moved to CRUSHED ICE, baffle in housing channels cubes through the

(6)crusher and crushed ice falls into the glass through the chute. Spills are caught in a

(7)recessed area°

Water is supplied automatically to the icemaker by a solenoid valve_ A connection to the household cold

water system is all that's needed_

o Dispense ice before filling glass with soda or other beverage mxes. This will prevent splashing which is annoying and which, if the splash reaches the ice selector switch, could cause it to stick or bind°

Beverages and foods should not be quick- chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or

food packages in the storage bin may cause the icemaker to malfunction

o ice other than that produced by your icemaker should not be added to the ice

storage bin_it may not crush or dispense well.

If your refrigerator is

operated before the water connection is

made, remove the ice

storage bin and make sure the icemaker feeler

arm is in the OFF (up) position.

To remove the ice

storage bin, lift the

front of the bin and pull the bin straight out while supporting it at front and rear.

important Facts about Your Dispenser

e Your icemaker will produce eight cubes

per cycle--approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour

period--depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door

openings and other use conditions_

e Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal. If ice flow interruption is more than brief, ice clump(s) may be the cause and should be removed

following instructions on page 11.

e Avoid overfilling glasses with ice and using

narrow or extra.tall glasses. This can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut_

Periodically open the freezer compartment door and look down into the chute. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon_

e To help keep blfs of ice from being sprayed

beyond the glass, place glass close to ice chute--

but not so dose that it blocks outcoming ice_

e Do not dispense ice into thin glasses, fine china or delicate crystalmthey can crack or chip from combined pressure of hand pressing them against cradle and ice dropping into container_

To replace the ice storage bin, slide it back on the ice bin shelf_

If the bin does not go all

the way back, remove it and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn_

Then push the bin back again.

When water supply has been connected to icernaker, move feeler arm to ON (down) position_

The ice cube mold will automatically fill with water after cooling to freezing temperature, and first cubes normally freeze after several hours.
