For only one or two icecubes, leave the tray right-side up, twist both ends slightlyand remove the number of cubes you want.

Wash ice trays in lukewarm water only. Do not put them in an automatic dishwasher.

Automatic Icemaker

(on models so equipped)

Your icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle-approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

If your refrigeratoris operated before water connection is made to the icemaker, keep the icemaker feeler armin the OFF (up) position as shown below.

Ice cube mold will automatically fill with water after cooling to freezing temperature, and first cubes will normally freeze after several hours. When cubesare solidly frozen, theywill be ejected from the mold into the ice storage bin by means of a sweeper arm.

Icemaking will continueuntil the feeler arm sensesa sufficient accumulation of ice cubesin the storage bin and halts the operation temporarily. For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubeswith your hand occasionally. Be sure nothing interfereswith the swing of the feelerarm.

The icemaker ejects cubesin groups of eight andit is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

Once your icemakeris in operation, throwaway the first few batches of ice cubes. This will flush away any impurities in the 0 water line. Do thesamethingafter vacations or extended periods when ice isn’tused.

Caution:

Under certainrare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored,usually appearing with a green-bluish hue.The causeofthisunusualdiscoloration is apparently duetoa combination of factors suchas certain characteristics of local waters, household plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supplyline which feedsthe icemaker. Continued consumptionof such discolored ice cubes may be injurious to health.If such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and - ’ contact yourGE Factory Service Center or an authorized Customer Care@ servicer.
