Automatic Ice Maker
An automatic ice maker is factory
installed. See Figure 46.
Allow 4 to 12 hours before the first ice
harvest occurs. The time required will
depend on the freezer temperature
setting and on the amount of food in
the unit. The ice maker automatically

fi!ls itself with water and empties ice
into the bin. A wire arm senses the
amount of ice and turns the icemaker
off when the bin is full.
To start ice production: Install
the ice bin and lower the wire arm
The ice bin must be all the way
back to operate.
To stop ice production: Raise
the wire arm until it locks, (NOTE:
As long as the arm is raised, the ice
maker will not operate.)
IMPORTANT
Discard the first several ice harvests so
any impurities flushed through the water
line or ice maker witl not be consumed.
Ice cubes are porous and will absorb
food odors, so be sure to keep foods
covered in the freezer and refrigerator
sections. (See "Before Calling For
Service" on page 22.)
Cold, dry air circulates through the
entire refrigerator/freezer to maintain
safe storage temperatures. After sev-
eral weeks, this air movement can
cause cubes stored open in the bin to
evaporate and stick together.
CAUTION
To guard against possible
water damage. If the
refrigerator will be unattended,
raise the ice maker wire shut off
arm and turn the water shut off
valve for the refrigerator to OFF
* If you should choose to install
the optional ice maker, please
follow the provided instructions
and use only Amana parts.
You Can Help Save Energy!
Your New Amana Stor-Mor _':
Refrigerator/Freezer is designed to
operate efficiently. You can help
reduce energy consumption by
following these suggestions:
Energy Saver Control. This
control regulates special heaters
that help reduce condensation
during periods of high humidity.
Reduce energy consumption by
setting the control according to
current climatic conditions,
Refrigerated Meat Keeper.
Adjust the control to obtain the best
storage conditions for highly
perishable food items.
Keep Freezer Section Full. The
unit operates more economically
when the freezer is filled to
capacity, but not overfilled. A full
freezer helps maintain frozen tem-
peratures when the door is opened.
Controls. Set the freezer and refri-
gerator controls so the compartments
are not colder than recommended,
See page 12 for details.
Doors. Make sum the door gaskets
do not become blocked, dirty or
worn. Air leaks will cause the unit to
operate more often.
Location. Install the unit away from
heating equipment or direct sunlight,
Keep the Condenser Coil Clean.
A dirty condenser coil will cause the
unit to operate more than necessary.
