Au Tomatic Icemaker, Ice Bin, To Remove The Bin

AU TOMATIC ICEMAKER

After the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, move the wire lever arm on the icemaker into the down (ON) position to start its operation. The icemaker 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 icemaker 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 var- ious cycles of the icemaker.

•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 luke- warm water. Rinse and

dry thoroughly.

ICE BIN

To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift the door on the bin.

TO REMOVE THE BIN:

•Turn off the icemaker by moving the icemaker wire lever arm up to the OFF position.

•While holding the top edge of the ice bin, grasp the lower edge of the ice bin and pull down to release the latch, then pull ice bin out.

•Reverse procedure to replace the ice bin.

•Turn the icemaker on by lowering the wire lever arm.

Note:

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 icemaker to mal- function.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or prop- erty damage, observe the fol- lowing:

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

•Under certain rare circum- stances, ice cubes may be dis- colored, 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 con- sumption of such discolored ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your dealer to pur- chase 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.
