About the automatic icemaker.

www.GEAppliances.com

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not already come

equipped with an automatic icemaker,

an icemaker accessory kit is available at

extra cost.

Check the back of the refrigerator for the

specific icemaker kit needed for your

model.

Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)

The icemaker will produce seven cubes

per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes

in a 24-hour period, depending on

freezer compartment temperature, room

temperature, number of door openings

and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the

water connection is made to the icemaker,

set the power switch to OFF.
When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, set the power switch to
ON

. The green light will come 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 feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the

feeler arm, the icemaker will stop

producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined

together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes

will become cloudy, taste stale and

shrink.
If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, the

green power light will blink. To correct

this, set the power switch to OFF and

remove the cubes. Set the power switch

to ON to restart the icemaker.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.
