USING THE REFRIGERATOR: Automatic Icemaker / Sabbath Mode
Using the Refrigerator
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours
to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—
approximately 15 cycles in a 24-hour period.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection
is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O
(OFF).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to I (ON).
Throw away the first full bucket 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
icemaker 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.
If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, set the power
switch to O (OFF) and remove the cubes. Set the power
switch to I (ON) to restart the icemaker.
After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will
be a delay of about 45 minutes before the icemaker
resumes operations.
The ice bucket is conveniently located in the upper

the icemaker water valve cycle on several times when
making one batch of ice.
NOTE: Icemaker works best between 40 and 120 PSI
(275-827 kPa) home water pressure.
