Water Dispenser & Ice Service (continued)

ICE MAKER

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your refrigerator, 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 most models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.

The ice maker produces 2 to 5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.

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.

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.

Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

Ice Maker Tips

•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 refrigerator 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

NOTE: For more information on these operations, see the Normal Operating Sounds and Sights section.

Do Not place the ice container in your 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.

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