Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per
cycle—approximately 120 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,
keep the feeler arm in the STOP (up)
position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, move the feeler arm to
the ON (down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may
take 8 to 12 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 swing of
the feeler arm.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy and taste stale.

About the ice and water dispenser.
On some models
To Use the Dispenser
Press the rim of the glass gently against the
dispenser pad.
Select CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
(on some models) or WATER .
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To
reduce water spotting, the shelf and its grille
should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser pad for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water
line and to fill the water system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away the
first six glassfuls of water.
A light switch (on some models) turns the
night light
in the dispenser on or off. The
light also comes on when the dispenser pad
is pressed. The light in the dispenser should
be replaced with a 7 watt maximum bulb
when it burns out.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge
opening.
