USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The ice maker will produce 12 cubes per cycle, approximately
If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made to the ice maker, 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 feeler arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the ice maker 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.
