Using the automatic ice maker Here are a few things you will want to know about your
automatic ice maker:
l The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
DOWN to make ice automatically.
UP to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE:
Do not turn ice maker on until it is connected
to the water supply.
Instructions for ice maker
water supply hookup are attached to the back of
the refrigerator cabinet.
l It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They break apart easily.
l The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is
cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.
l If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is
needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a higher
number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn the
Freezer Control toward C.
l Good water quality is important for good ice quality.
Try to avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened
water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt
from a malfunctioning softener) can damage the ice
maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If a softened
water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the
water softener is operating properly and is well
maintained.
