If your refrigerator is operated before water
connection is made to the icemaker, keep the
icemaker feeler arm in the STOP (up) position as
shown above.
When the refrigerator
has been connected to

several hours. When cubes are solidly frozen, they
will be ejected from the mold into the ice storage bin
by means of a sweeper arm.
Icemaking will continue until the feeler arm senses a
sufficient accumulation of ice cubes in the storage bin
and halts the operation temporarily. For maximum ice
storage, level the stored cubes with your hand
occasionally. Be sure nothing interferes with the
swing of the feeler arm.
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight and it is
normal for several cubes to be joined together.
Once your icemaker is in operation, throw away
the first few batches of ice cubes. This will flush
away any impurities in the water line. Do the same
thing after vacations or extended periods when ice
isn’t used.

If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy
and taste stale and will shrink. Empty [he ice storage
bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water.

sounds that may be unfi~miliar.They arc normal
icemaking sounds and are not cause for concern.
Water Filter Accessory
Your ice cubes can only be as fresh-tasting as the
water that produces them. That’s why it’s a good
idea to purify your water with a water filter.
Its activated charcoal removes musty, stale odors and
unpleasant medicinal, metallic tastes. A porous fiber
cartridge catches dirt, rust particles, sand and silt
while special crystals reduce deposits of hard scale.
The water filter is an option at extra cost and is
available from your dealer. Specify WR97X02 14.
It has complete installation instructions and installs
in minutes on 1/4” OD copper water line.
Water Supply Kit
A kit containing copper tubing, shut-oft VUIVC,fittings
and instructions needed to connect the iccnmkcr to
your cold water line is available at extra cost. Sec
Preparation section.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already equipped
with an automatic icemaker, an Icemaker Accessory
Kit is available at extra cost. Check the back of the
refrigerator for the specific icemaker kit needed for
your model.
