About the automatic icemaker.

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Instructions Operating Instructions Safety

Power		Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
Switch	Icemaker	The icemaker will produce seven cubes

		If the refrigerator is operated before the
		water connection is made to the icemaker,
		set the power switch in the O (off) position.
		When the refrigerator has been connected
		to the water supply, set the power switch to
		the l (on) position.
		The icemaker will fill with water when it
		cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed
		refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin
		making ice cubes.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.
