AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER
DISPENSER
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first 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 flushed, the first ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor.
Priming the water supply system
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.
1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the dispenser.
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 flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Dispenser
Note: The water dispenser has a built-in
device that shuts off the water flow after
three minutes of continuous use. To reset
this shut-off device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
Only the first 26 ounces (750 ml) of
dispensed water is chilled.
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 fill
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 fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of
ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about 4
pounds of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and off
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
fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when
it attempts to operate without water.
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.
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.
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.
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 that
the water filter needs to be replaced. As the
water filter 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 has been six months or longer
since you last changed your water filter, replace
the water filter with a new one. Poor quality
household water may require the filter to be
changed more frequently.
