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
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. Replace front cover of ice maker.
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
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.
PAGE 10 ●SET UP & USE
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 bucket in your dishwasher.
Be sure to stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or on vacation.
If the ice maker has to be turned OFF for a long period of time, turn the
water supply valve to the closed position.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or the ice bucket.
