HOW TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
The water tank, located inside the refrigerator door,
automatically fills as water is dispensed.
WATER DISPENSER & ICE SERVICE
To Prime The Water Supply System:
1. Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking
glass against the water dispenser button.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the
dispenser. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters as
the system pushes air out through the system and
dispensing spout. This is normal. This may take about 1½
minutes.
CAUTION CAUTION

CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply
water pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
malfunction.

Lock dispenser whenever cleaning or rearranging food in
freezer to prevent accidentally activating the water
dispenser while leaning on refrigerator door.
ICE MAKER
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a
sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup
of your refrigerator, no ice will be produced during the first 24
hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the
ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray
of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately one to two days
to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of
ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice
made during the first 24 hours.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the
water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower
the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position.
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage
the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water,
ensure that the softener is maintained and working
properly.

Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire
signal arm in the ON position. To ensure proper function of
your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice
maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and
locks in the UP position. If the ice maker is not turned off
and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will
make a loud chattering noise.
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of ice every 24
hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a
rate of 8 cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
DO NOT place the ice container in your dishwasher.

TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire
signal arm until it clicks and
locks in the “up” or OFF position.
The ice maker also turns off
automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model
has an adjustable freezer shelf,
place the shelf in the lower
position, so that the wire signal
arm will hit the ice when the
container is full.

Small Ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker
may be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If
you have a side mounted ice maker you may also
experience hollow cubes — partially frozen cubes with
water inside. When these cubes are harvested they
break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in
the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. As the
water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes
clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the
ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker can’t fill
every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small
cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice
ejector blades and the stripper. Remember, if your
ice maker is jamming with small ice cubes or it’s
been six months or longer since you last changed
your water filter – replace the water filter with a
new one. Poor quality household water may require
the filter to be changed more frequently.
