Automatic ice Maker
(select modds)
Energy rating guides that are posted on the refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include optional ice maker energy usage.
Some models are automatic ice maker ready. The number of the appropriate ice maker kit is ICIOS. The kit contains installation instructions and water connection instructions.
Other models have a factory installed ice maker. Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed on page 5. Proper water flow and a level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice maker
performance.
Operating Instructions
•Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is down.
•To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift open the door on the ice bin.
After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F
begins operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice approximately every three hours.
Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive first harvest of ice.
Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation to verify system is flushed of impurities.
Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until click is heard.
Ice maker will remain in the OFF position until arm is pushed down.
The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the supply line.
When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage pan and the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly before replacing it.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.
•Turn off the ice maker by raising the ice maker arm when the water supply is to be shut off for several hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
•Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
•Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on by lowering the ice maker arm.
