Ice Maker Operation and Care
After you have properly installed the
refrigerator, the ice maker can produce
ice within 24hours. When using the ice
maker for the first time, and in order for
it to work properly, clear air from the
water tubing and the filter. Furthermore,
if you do not flush the system, the first ice
cubes may be discolored or have an odd
flavor. Once the ice maker begins making
ice, allow the bin to fill completely, and
then discard the first FULL bin of ice.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce between
2 and 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours
depending on usage conditions. For a
Standard Depth unit, the ice bin should
hold around 12 pounds of ice. For a
Counter Depth unit, the ice bin should
hold around 9 pounds of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and o
Press the power button to turn Ice Maker
on (the button will not illuminate).
NOTE
The ice maker produces the advertised
production rate only if the product is
set at 0°F.
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.
