A U T O M A T I C I C E M A K E R

After the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, move the wire lever arm on the icemaker into the down (ON) position to start its operation.The icemaker will fill with water when the freezer reaches the proper temperature. It may be 8 to 12 hours before the ice- maker furnishes any usable ice cubes.

Discard all the cubes from the first two or three batches made.These initial ice cubes may be irregularly shaped, discolored, or contain impurities from the new water supply piping.

When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The icemaker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises the wire lever arm, shutting the ice- maker off.

To manually stop the operation of the ice- maker, move the wire lever arm into the up (OFF) position.

Certain sounds may accompany the var- ious cycles of the icemaker.

•buzzing of the water valve

•running of the water as the tray fills

•rattling of the ice cubes falling into an empty ice bin.

If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste

stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically

and wash it in luke- warm water. Rinse and

dry thoroughly.

ICE BIN

To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift the door on the bin.

TO REMOVE THE BIN:

•Turn off the icemaker by moving the icemaker wire lever arm up to the OFF position.

•While holding the top edge of the ice bin, grasp the lower edge of the ice bin and pull down to release the latch, then pull ice bin out.

•Reverse procedure to replace the ice bin.

•Turn the icemaker on by lowering the wire lever arm.

CAUTION:

•Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

•Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discol- oration is a combination of factors such as certain characteristics of local water, household plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which feeds the icemaker.

Continued consumption of such dis- colored ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your local water utility or water treatment company.

NOTE:

Beverages and foods should NOT be placed in the ice storage bin for quick chilling.These items can block the wire lever arm, causing the icemaker to mal- function.
