AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER - FREEZER
(SELECT MODELS)
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.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This could
damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is
completely dry.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
1 Turn off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if an extended
power failure (one hour or longer) causes
ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze
together after power is restored.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the
cubes or clean as explained above.
Ice maker tips
• 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
avor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
Quick Freeze Function
Your refrigerator is equipped with a Quick
Freeze Function for freezing food at a faster
rate, but it can also increase ice production.
This function terminates automatically after 12
hours. This function affects only the ice
maker in the freezer.
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
ll valve may make a loud chattering noise
when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning the ice maker on and off
The ice maker is turned off and on 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.

Operation & Care of the Freezer
Ice Maker (select models)
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
When using the ice maker for the rst time, and
in order for it to work properly, it is necessary
to clear air from the water tubing and the lter.
Furthermore, if the system is not ushed, the
rst ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd
avor. Once the ice maker begins making ice,
allow the bin to ll completely, then discard the
rst FULL bin of ice on a Standard Depth model,
and the rst TWO FULL bins of ice on a Counter
Depth model.
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. 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.
