Automatic Ice Maker - Freezer
Ice maker operation &
care (select models)
After the refrigerator is installed properly,
the ice maker can produce ice within 24
hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in
about three days.
When using the ice maker for the first
time and in order for the ice maker to
work properly, it is necessary to clear air
from water filter tubing. Once ice maker
begins making ice, allow the bucket to
fill completely, then discard the first TWO
FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least
two days to completely fill the bucket on
regular ice making mode or 1½ days on
fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately
2.0 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions. In a
Standard Depth model, the ice bin will
hold about 12 pounds of ice. In a Counter
Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 7
pounds of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by lifting/
lowering the ice maker’s wire signal arm.
To gain access to the ice maker, pull the
freezer drawer out. Lift the wire signal arm
to turn the ice maker OFF and lower the
wire signal arm to turn it ON.
Ice maker tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to
a water supply or the water supply is
turned off, turn off the ice maker by
lifting wire signal arm.
• The following sounds are normal when
the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
• Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice
bin as explained below.
Fast Ice Function
Your refrigerator is equipped with a
“Smart” Fast Ice Function that will, if
activated, allow an increase in freezer ice
production. After time the refrigerator will
return to normal ice production.

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, lift the ice
maker’s wire signal arm to turn it off.
Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may
make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator
is softened, be sure the softener is
properly maintained. Chemicals from
a water softener can damage the ice
maker.
NOTE
During the Sabbath Mode, the
automatic ice maker will continue to
work and must be manually turned
off to be compliant with the Sabbath
observance.
