AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

HOWTHE WATER DISPENSER WORKS

The water tank, located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.

After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about 1½ minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any impurities. The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff mechanism.

CAUTION

Water pressure must not exceed 100 lbs. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

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.

to the ice maker, pull the ice cream tray out. Press the switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and press it to the “I” position to turn it On. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice container. The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.

The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. These should be discarded until the cubes made are free of discoloration and taste.

ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES

The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.

To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed. (Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside of the freezer door.)

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 (side mounted) or the ice maker’s On/Off power switch is turned On-set to the “I” position (rear mounted). 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 (side mounted) or the ice maker’s On/Off power switch turned Off-set to the “O” position (rear mounted) until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal arm in the ON position (side mounted) or turned ON (rear mounted) at the factory. 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 (side mounted) or turn the On/Off switch to the Off (O) position. If the icemaker is not turned off and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.
