FRIGIDAIRE FGHB2866PP - Manual (Page 21)

IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it
can work as soon as you install your refrigerator.
If you cannot connect a water supply, set the
ice maker’s On/Off icon to Off; otherwise, the
ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering
noise when it attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the
ice maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently, it may be an indication of low
water pressure or the water filter needs to be
replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with particles,
less water is delivered to the ice maker during
each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six months or
longer since you last changed your water filter,
replace the water filter with a new one. Poor
quality household water may require the filter
to be changed more frequently.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice
making. You will still be able to dispense existing
ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after three minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.

NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal
arm that automatically stops ice production
when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should
not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between
30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may
cause the system to malfunction.
Priming the water supply system
1 Begin filling the system by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the water
dispenser paddle.
2 Keep the glass in
this position until
water comes out
of the dispenser.
It may take about
1½ minutes.
3 Continue
dispensing water
for about four
minutes to flush
the system and
plumbing connections of any impurities
(stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and
has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can
produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill
the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some
ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will
allow the bin to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of
ice per 24 hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold
about 6.5 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth
model, the ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.
Turning the fresh food ice maker
on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off icon on the control panel. Touch the
“options” button to access the Options Menu on
the control panel. Use "∨” or "∧” to select the ice
maker. Then use “+” or “-” to select ON or OFF.
Touch “set” to activate your choice.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three empty
ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not
flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or
have an odd flavor.

NOTE
Dispensed water is chilled. For colder water, add
ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
