Usage of Ice Maker and the Cold Water Dispenser
1. Preparation before using the ice maker and cold water dispenser:
a.) Cut the water pipe according to need, and avoid bending the water pipe too much. Usually the length
should be less than 18 ft. (5 m). If the water pipe is too long, the ice content and cold water content are affected
because there is not enough water pressure.
b.) The water pipe cannot stand heat. Keep it away from heat sources.
c.) You may want to have a service engineer install the water pipe.
d.) During the first use, in order to supply water to the fresh food water tank, press the water dispenser pad
several times for 1 minute each. Do not press for more than 1 minute, to prevent overheating of the pad activator
solenoid. Cold water will begin to flow from the outlet.
e.) Water supply pipe instruction: The cold water pressure should be between 0.15~0.6MPa-for automatic ice
making.
f.) The water filter is for removing chlorine and odors from the water. It cannot sterilize or destroy anything -
therefore, make sure to connect the water pipe to a drinkable water source.
2. Precautions
a.) To prevent the pipe from freezing, do not install the water pipe in a place below 0°C
b.) Open water valve to flush pipe, and check leakage in water pipe joints until water is clean.
c.) When temperature of ice maker is equal to or below 5F, the ice maker will begin to make ice. (Throw out the
first several batches of ice cubes if you make ice after not having made it for a long time.)
d.) After the fridge is installed, put the water supply pipe in a proper place to prevent pressing and damage.
e.) The filter in the water pipe is there to filter impurities in the water and to make ice clean and hygienic.
Therefore, the filter will absorb impurities during normal use. After a long time of usage, if the cubed ice becomes
smaller, it may mean that the filter is blocked from the impurities. After 6 months of use, the "Change Filter"
indicator light will turn on. At this time, we suggest going to your local authorized Haier after-sale service center
or call 1-877-337-3639. After you change the filter, the indicator light will turn off. The refrigerator comes with a
filter installed; after this you have to buy and change the filter yourself.
f.) The ice maker should only be connected to a source of drinkable water.
3. Ice maker Working Principle:
The ice maker tray periodically receives an automatic flow of water to the ice maker ice cube tray. Once the
water freezes a sensor on the tray recognizes cubes have been made and automatically twists the tray to drop
the ice cubes into the ice bucket. Capacity of the ice maker depends on the ambient temperature, frequency of
freezer door openings, and freezer compartment cooling temperature setting. Typical ice harvest per day is 4
pounds of ice.
Note
4. If this is your first ice maker:
Occasionally you may hear some sounds, like flowing of water or ice cubes dropping. These sounds are normal.
Occasionally, in periods of infrequent ice use, cubes may stick together. This is normal.
5. If you do not use ice often:
Older ice cubes can get stale. Clean the ice container periodically and use warm water to clean. Before putting it
back dry it well so cubes do not stick to surfaces.
6. When you do not use the ice bucket for long periods of time:
If you will not be using the ice container for a long time, throw out the remaining ice cubes, wash the container
with warm water, dry it with a towel, and place it back in the fridge. Then close the water supply valve to the fridge.
Note:
1. Your center freezer drawer is arranged to load ice cubes on a tray in the left side and either more ice or
frequently frozen and reused foods on the right side of the drawer.
2. When opening the center freezer drawer avoid rapid pullout which can cause ice cubes to fall into lower deep
freeze drawer.
3. When ice maker is dropping ice into the center freezer drawer ice bucket a signal of circling dashes will
appear on the dispenser clock screen. It is recommended the user wait for the ice cubes to drop before
opening the center freezer drawer.
After first plugging in your refrigerator it typically takes 24 hours
to make your first batch of ice cubes.
