ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICE
MAKER
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin
making ice.
Warning: Connect only to a potable water supply. Installation
must be done by a qualified person.
Automatic Ice maker
The ice maker will produce seven cubes per cycle
approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24 hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and other use
conditions�
If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is
made to the ice maker, set the power switch in the O (off)
position�
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to the l (on) position�
Note: In homes with lower-
than-average water pressure,
you may hear the ice maker
cycle multiple times when
making one batch of ice.
The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to -10°C
(15°F)� A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice cubes�
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker fills
with water�
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear�
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm�
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the ice
maker will stop producing ice� It is normal for several cubes
to be joined together�
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale and shrink�
Special note about dispenser models:
Dispenser models have an ice bin� The bin can be pulled out
as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold itself up while
you take ice out or turn the ice maker power switch on and
off� Be sure to put the ice bin back in place before closing
the door�
To restore your ice level from an empty bucket stage, the
following steps are recommended:
1. 12 hours after the first batch of ice has fallen into the bin,
dispense 3 to 4 cubes�
2. After additional 6 hours, dispense 3 to 4 cubes again�
These steps will restore your ice level in the shortest amount
of time�
To access the ice maker
Pull the upper freezer shelf straight out to access the ice
maker� Always be sure to replace the shelf� The shelf can be
used for storage�
Ice bin
To access ice, pull the drawer forward�
To remove the bin, pull it straight out and lift it past the stop
location� Be sure the ice maker is turned off.
When replacing the ice bin, always be sure to press it firmly
into place� If it does not go all the way back, remove it and
rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn� Then push the bin
back again�
