Operational notes
1. The Ice Maker valve contains a ow washer
that acts like a pressure regulator to control
the water ow. For the Ice Maker to work
properly, the water pressure in your home
must be between 20 and 120 pounds
per-square-inch (psi). If you encounter
problems with your Ice Maker's ability to
produce ice, call your water utility company
and have the water pressure checked.
2. The Ice Maker's water valve is equipped
with two strainers: a plastic basket type
and a wire-mesh screen. Both of these
can be cleaned by turning o󰀨 the water
and disassembling the water valve (your
service center should be able to provide this
service). If local water conditions require
periodic cleaning, or if you use a well as a
water source, you should consider installing
a second water strainer in the water line. You
can obtain a water strainer from your local
appliance dealer.
