Use and Care

IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install your
refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water
supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off feature
to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s ll valve
may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the
ice maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently, it may be an indication of low
water pressure or the water lter needs to be
replaced. As the water lter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with particles,
less water is delivered to the ice maker during
each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six months
or longer since you last changed your water
lter, replace the water lter with a new one.
Poor quality household water may require the
lter to be changed more frequently.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables
ice making. You will still be able to dispense
existing ice, and you will still be able to
dispense water.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water ow after three minutes
of continuous use. To reset this shutoff
device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. This
signal arm should not be used to manually
stop the ice maker.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between
30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may
cause the system to malfunction.
Priming the water supply system
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and
has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can
produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will
ll the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense
some ice to force the ice forward in the bin.
This will allow the bin to ll completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 2.5 to 3 pounds
of ice per 24 hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold
about 6.5 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth
model, the ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.
Turning the fresh food ice maker
on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing
the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on &
off.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the rst time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three empty
ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system
is not ushed, the rst ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd avor.

NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder
water, add ice to cup or container before
dispensing water.
1 Begin lling the system by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the water
dispenser
paddle.
2 Keep the glass
in this position
until water
comes out of
the dispenser.
It may take
about 1½
minutes.
3 Continue
dispensing
water for
about four
minutes to ush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
