AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
HOW THE 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.
HOW THE ICE DISPENSER WORKS -SIDE MOUNTED
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several
hours, the ice maker can
begin making ice within 24
hours. Air in new plumbing
lines may cause the ice
maker to cycle two or three
times before making a full
tray of ice. To begin ice
production, lower the wire
signal arm to the "down" or
ON position. With no usage it
will take approximately 2
days to fill the ice container.
The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container
becomes full. To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until
it clicks, and locks in the "up" or OFF position.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION 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.

HOW THE ICE DISPENSER WORKS -REAR MOUNTED
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the
refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for
several hours, the ice maker
can begin making ice within
24 hours. Air in new plumbing
lines may cause the ice maker
to cycle two or three times
before making a full tray of ice.
Ice production is controlled by
the ice maker’s On/Off power
switch. Press the switch to the
OFF
ON
“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 DISPENSER 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 (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.
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.)

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.
