A newly installed refrigerator may take up to
24 hours to begin making ice.
How the _cemaker Works
The icemaker will produce 8 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'you use your refiqgerator before the water
connection is made, make sure the icemaker fieeler arm
is in the STOP (up) position. When the water supply
has been connected to the icem_er, move the fi:eler
arm to ON (down) position..

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing° Note: With a newly-installed refrigerator;
allow about 24 hours for the fieezer compartment to
get cold enough to make ice.
Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes (16 or
24
cubes). This wil!
flush
away any impurities in the
water line. Do the same thing after vacations or'
extended periods when ice isn't used,
To make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes
occasionally. _(fhen cubes fall into the bin tlaey may pile
up close to the icemaker and push the feele_ arm to the
STOP (up) position before the bin gets full Keeping the
cubes level allows the icemaker to fi!l the bin,,
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of 8, and it is
normal for severa! cubes to be joined together:.
