Note: Energy rating guides that are posted on the refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include optional ice maker energy usage.
After your refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, move the wire lever arm into the down position. This will start its operation. The ice maker will fill with water when the freezer reaches the proper temperature. It may be 8 to 12 hours before the ice maker furnishes any usable ice cubes.
Discard all the cubes from the first two or three batches made. These initial ice cubes may be irregularly shaped, discolored, or contain impurities from the new water supply piping.
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 wire lever arm, shutting the ice maker off.
To manually stop the operation of the ice maker, move the wire lever arm into the up (off) position.
Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker.
•buzzing of the water valve
•running of the water as the tray fills
•rattling of the ice cubes falling into an empty ice bin.
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 before replacing it.
Dispenser Models
To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift open the door on the ice bin.
To remove the bin, first turn off the ice maker. This is done by opening the door on the ice bin and moving the ice maker wire lever up to the “off” position. Then reach under the bin front and pull down on the back edge. After it snaps free, pull the bin straight forward. To replace the ice bin, align the bottom rails to the corresponding shelf grooves and push it straight back until it stops and latches. Make sure the tabs at the back of the bin that turn the spiral auger are positioned between the prongs from the auger motor. Turn the ice maker on by lowering the wire arm.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the wire lever arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.
For Your Safety
Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a
Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your local water utility or water treatment company.
