Ice Service 15
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.
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 1/4 inch socket wrench for this task.
