USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Using the automatic ice maker
(on some models)
Here are a few things you will want to know
about your automatic ice maker:
• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
DOWN to make ice automatically.
UP to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is
connected to the water supply. Instruc­
tions for ice maker water supply hook­
up are attached to the back of the
refrigerator cabinet.
• It is normal for ice crescents to be attached
by a corner. They break apart easily.
• The ice maker will not operate until the
freezer is cold enough to make ice. This
can take overnight.
• If ice is not being made fast enough and
more ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator
Control toward a higher number. Wait a
day and, if necessary, turn the Freezer
Control toward C.
• Good water quality is important for good
ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals (such as salt from a
malfunctioning softener) can damage the
ice maker mold and lead to poor ice quality.
If a softened water supply cannot be
avoided, make sure the water softener is
operating properly and is well maintained.
