Ice and Water

Automatic Ice Maker

Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed on pages 8-10. 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.

After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C), ice maker fills with water and 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 assure 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 (arm up) the ice maker 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 ice maker arm.

To Install the Ice Bin:

Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on by lowering the ice maker arm.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible injury. It will also prevent interference with moving parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating element that releases the cubes.

Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a green- bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration can be a combination of factors such as certain characteristics of local waters, household plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice maker. Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your dealer to purchase and install a water line filter.

Water damage due to improper water connection may cause mold/mildew growth.

Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.

Water Dispenser (select models)

The Water Dispenser is located on the left side wall of the fresh food section. This design is for cold water dispensing only.

To Dispense Water:

Hold container under spout and press dispenser pad.
