ICE MAKER
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient
supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your refrigerator,
however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation.
Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in
most models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.
The ice maker produces 2 to 5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.
Turning Your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve
must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as
far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to
be discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be discarded
until the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.
Turning Your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the
“up” or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the
shelf in the lower position, so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when
the container is full.
