AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
The icemaker will produce approximately 80-100 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door openings
and other operating conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to occur.
Ice making stops when the bin fills to the lever of the
feeler arm.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
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 of
ice cubes.
_, WARNING: Connect to a potable water supply only.
_, CAUTION
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24
cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not
been used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice
bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may
damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass
fragments in the 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 bin is removed for more than one or two
minutes.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF position.
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position,
it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to
water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to
OFF (O).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off:
the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied any time the
icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF (O)
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have
a qualified technician drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused
by ruptured water lines or connections.
