USE OF ICE MAKER AND WATER DISPENSER
Automatic Ice Maker
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed. Proper
water flow and a level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice
maker performance.
Ice Maker Operation
• To turn ice maker On push arm down from locked position.
• Lift arm up and lock into position to turn ice maker Off.
Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is down.
• After freezer section reaches between -17" to -18" C (2" to 0" F),
ice maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a
complete harvest of ice approximately every three hours.
• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive first
harvest of ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation to assure
system is flushed of impurities.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until click is heard.
• Ice maker will remain in the off position until arm is pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and
irregular cubes because of air in the supply line.
• 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 ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker.
The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall
into an empty storage pan and the water valve may click or “buzz”
occasionally.
• 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
thoroughly before replacing it.
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for
quick chilling. These items can block the ice maker arm, causing the
ice maker to malfunction.
• Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water supply is to be shut
off for several hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the ice maker
dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn the ice maker off by
raising the ice maker arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on by lowering
the ice maker arm.
Water Dispenser (select models)
• The Water Dispenser is located on the left side wall of the fresh
food section. This design is for cold water dispensing only.
To Dispense Water:
• Hold container under spout and press dispenser pad.
