ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to
begin making ice.
Warning: Connect only to a potable water supply.
Installation must be done by a qualified person.
Automatic Ice maker
The ice maker 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 ice maker, set the power
switch in the O (off) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to the l (on) position�
Note: In homes with
lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the
ice maker cycle multiple
times when making one
batch of ice.
The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to -10°C
(15°F)� A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice cubes�
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker
fills with water.
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 ice
maker 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�
Special note about dispenser models:
Dispenser models have an ice bin� The bin can be pulled
out as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold itself
up while you take ice out or turn the ice maker power
switch on and off. Be sure to put the ice bin back in place
before closing the door�
To restore your ice level from an empty bucket stage,
the following steps are recommended:
1. 12 hours after the first batch of ice has fallen into the
bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes�
2. After additional 6 hours, dispense 3 to 4 cubes again�
These steps will restore your ice level in the shortest
amount of time�
To access the ice maker
Pull the upper freezer shelf straight out to access the ice
maker� Always be sure to replace the shelf� The shelf can
be used for storage�
Ice bin
To access ice, pull the drawer forward�
To remove the drawer, pull it straight out and lift it past
the stop location� Be sure the ice maker is turned off.
When replacing the ice bin, always be sure to press
it firmly into place. If it does not go all the way back,
remove it and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn� Then
push the bin back again�
