AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Personal injury' Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands in the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
A newly-installed refrigerator mav take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)
* When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
" When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a
minute or two.
" When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
with water.
NOTE: If the house water supply (cold water only) is
not hooked up or not turned on fully, turn the icemaker
to the Off (O) position to prevent noise and possible
damage. Do not turn the icemaker On (I) until an
adequate water supply is connected.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
Automatic Power Switch
Shutoff Arm
NOTE: The water pressure must be between 20 and 120
psi on models without a water filter and between 40
and 120 psi on models with a water filter to produce the
normal amount and size cubes.
The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle--
approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other operating conditions.
* If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is
made to the icemaker, set the power switch to OFF (O).
* When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to ON (I).
* The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to
24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
* Discard the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.
* Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
Automatic Shutoff Arm.
* When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shutoff
Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is normal
for several cubes to be stuck together.
" If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off
the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system
to prevent serious property damage due to flooding from
ruptured water lines or connections.
