IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH OR
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CONNECTING A WATER SUPPLY LINE TO THE
REFRIGERATOR.
!
WARNING
!
WARNING
DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR HAND ON THE AUTOMATIC ICE
MAKING MECHANISM WHILE THE REFRIGERATOR IS PLUGGED IN.
THIS WILL HELP PROTECT YOU FROM POSSIBLE INJURY AS WELL
AS PREVENT INTERFERENCE WITH MOVING PARTS OF THE
EJECTOR MECHANISM AND THE HEATING ELEMENT THAT
RELEASES THE CUBES.
TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water
supply tubing should be 1/4". Plastic is not recommended since it
greatly increases the potential for water leaks.
Do not install water supply tubing in areas where the temperature
falls below freezing.
Connect the ice maker to a drinkable water source that is not
connected to a water softening system. Chemicals from the
softener may damage the ice maker, causing it to malfunction.

ICE MAKER FILL ADJUSTMENT
If your ice maker is making small ice cubes or isn’t producing a satisfactory amount
of ice, it is possible to improve this by adjusting the amount of water used to fill the
ice cube tray in the ice maker.
3.Replacefrontcoveroficemaker.
NOTE: Increasing the water fill amount could cause water to overflow the ice
maker. Make half-turn adjustments until ice cube size or ice production
amount is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours between adjustments. Closely
monitor the freezer compartment for water overflow after fill adjustment.
Ice Maker Bottom
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
Motor running (inside freezer compartment)
Ice dropping into ice bucket (inside freezer compartment)
Running water (inside freezer compartment)
Water valve opening or closing (clicking from back of refrigerator)
THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF THE HOME HAS
UNUSUALLY LOW WATER PRESSURE THAT RESULTS IN LOW ICE
PRODUCTION OR SMALL ICE CUBE SIZE. CHANGES TO HOME PLUMBING
COULD AFFECT ICE MAKER FILL AMOUNT AND RESULT IN OVERFLOWED
WATER IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT.

7. Reconnect refrigerator to power supply.
8. Turn icemaker ON by lowering wire control arm.
Wire Control Arm
NOTE: It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to produce ice.
New plumbing may cause ice discoloration and poor flavor.
Discard ice made in the first 24 hours.
ICE MAKER OPERATION
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire arm until it clicks and locks in the OFF (raised)
position. The ice maker turns OFF automatically when the ice container is full.
Water quality determines ice quality. Do not connect the ice maker to water that
is softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice
maker.
Ice stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container and make
sure the wire arm is in the ON (lowered) position. The ice maker will then produce
ice.
Keep the wire arm in OFF position until the refrigerator is connected to the water
supply or whenever the water supply is turned OFF.
CAUTION:
Do not wash the ice container in your dishwasher.
Be sure to stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or on vacation.
