AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
w WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT insert your hands in to the Icemaker in
operation. It may cause to injure you.
ENGLISH
Operation instructions
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle-
approximately 90-130 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
If the refrigerator is used before the water connection
is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O
(off).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to I (on).
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours
to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the
water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
Automatic Shut off Arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut
off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
When you should set the icemaker
power switch to O(off)
• When the water supply will be shut off for several
hours.
• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than
a minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several
days.
Normal sounds you may hear
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker
fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (on)
position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been
hooked up to water.
To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O
(off).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on)
position before the water line is connected can
damage the icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
Preparing for vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off
the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.
