Ice cube mold will automatically fill with water afler coolingto freezingtemperature, and first cubes normally freeze afier several hours. When cubes are solidly frozen, they will be ejected from the mold into the ice storagebin by means of a sweeperarm. Icemaking will continue until the feeler arm senses a sufficientaccumulationof ice cubes in the storagebin and halts the operation temporarily.For maximum ice storage, levelthe stored cubes with your hand occasionally.Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.

The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight and it is normal for severalcubes to be joined together.

Once your kemaker is in operation, throw away the first few batches of ice cubes. This will flush awayany impurities in the water line. Do the same thing after vacations or extended periods when ice isn’tused.
