USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The icemaker will produce 7 cubes per cycle
—approximately 70-120 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and other
operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to occur.
• Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When
full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-
16 oz) glasses of ice.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, press the Ice
Maker button on the display. To turn on the automatic
icemaker, press the button again.
• The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi (138 to 827 kPa) on models without a water
fi lter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a
water fi lter to produce the normal amount and size of
ice cubes.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or the heating element that releases
the cubes. DO NOT place fi ngers or hands on the
automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
WHEN YOU SHOULD TURN THE ICEMAKER OFF
• When the water supply will be shut off for several
hours.
• When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two
minutes.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the Ice
Maker button is set to OFF.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker
fi lls with water. If the icemaker is on, it will buzz even
if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the
buzzing, turn off the icemaker.
NOTE: Keeping the icemaker on before the water line
is connected can damage the icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refi lls.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the Ice Maker button on the display to OFF and shut
off the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied any time the Ice
Maker button is set to OFF.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have
a qualifi ed technician drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to fl ooding caused
by ruptured water lines or connections.
WARNING: Connect to a potable water supply only.
