ICE SERVICE

If your freezer has an automatic icemaker, it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your freezer, however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation.

Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in some models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.

Turning Your Ice Maker On

After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position.

New plumbing connections may cause the first

production of ice cubes to be discolored or

have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be

discarded until the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.

Turning Your Ice Maker Off

To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the “up” or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf in the lower position, so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the container is full.

Ice Maker Tips

If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.

Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is in its “down” or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.

Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.

Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position until the freezer is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.

The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

Motor running

Ice loosening from tray

Ice dropping into ice container

Running water

Water valve opening or closing

Wire

Signal Arm

Leveling Bracket

Ice

Container

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal arm in the ON position. To ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP position.

Check the leveling bracket on the ice maker to ensure the ice maker is level. If the gap between the freezer wall and the ice maker is the same at top and bottom, then ice maker is level. If the ice maker is not level, loosen the screw and slide the bracket to the correct position to make it level. Retighten the screw. You will need a ¼ inch socket wrench for this task.

CAUTION

DO NOT place the ice container in dishwasher.

Wash the ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.

Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
