The icemaker will produce 6 cuber per cycle, approximately 100 cubes in a 24 hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

If the refrigerator is used before the water connections is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to OFF (O).

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

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the shutoff arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

When the bin fills to the level of the shutoff arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.

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