AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Priming the water supply system

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

1Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.

2 Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.

3Continue dispensing water for about four

(4) minutes to flush the system and plumbing

connections of any

impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

NOTE

The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after three (3) minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

NOTE

Dispensed water is chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off icon to Off and turn off the water supply valve; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Turning the fresh food ice maker on and off

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off icon on the control panel. Press and hold the “Ice Off” icon for three (3) seconds to turn the ice maker “ON” or “OFF”. The ice maker is turned off when the LED above the “Ice Off” icon is illuminated.

IMPORTANT

Turning off the ice maker will result in existing ice melting in the bin.

IMPORTANT

Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice dispenser. You will still be able to dispense water.

NOTE

The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bale arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.

Using the ice maker after installation

Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two (2) or three (3) empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.

IMPORTANT

On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six (6) months or longer since you last changed your water filter, replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.
