Before Using Your Icemaker and Dispenser

Ice access door

Icemaker

If you use your refrigerator before the water connection is made, raise the ice access door and make sure the icemaker feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position as shown below.

Feeler arm in STOP (up) position

When water supply has been connected to icemaker, move feeler arm to ON (down) position.

Feeler arm in ON (down) position

Depress water dispenser cradle for about two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill water reservoir automatically.

Ice cube mold automatically fills with water after cooling to freezing temperatures. First cubes normally freeze after several hours.

NOTE: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow about 24 hours for the freezer compartment to cool down to tie proper ice-making temperature.

Once Your Icemaker and Dispemer Are in Operation

Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes

(16 or 24 cubes). This will flush away any impurities in the water line. Do the same thing after vacations or extended periods when ice isn’t used.

Discard the first six glassfuls of water in the kitchen sink. This will eliminate the slight “plastic” taste temporarily imparted to the water by the water reservoir.

Keep ice leveJ to keep icemaker productive. Cubes ejected into an empty storage bin will pile up close to the icemaker and push the feeler arm up to the STOP position prematurely when the bin is only partially full. Open the ice access door, reach in, level the cubes by hand and icemaking will resume. Keeping cubes distributed evenly will allow the icemaker to produce enough ice to fill the bin to its maximum capacity.
