AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Priming the water supply system
1. Begin filling the
tank by pressing
and holding a
drinking glass
against the water
dispenser paddle.
2. Keep the glass in
this position until
water comes out
of the dispenser.
It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about
four (4) minutes to flush the system
and plumbing connections of any
impurities (stopping to empty the glass
as necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The
ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear.
You must dispense some ice to force the ice
forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to
fill completely.
Turning the fresh food ice maker
on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off icon on the control panel. Press and
hold the “Ice Off” icon for three (3) seconds
to turn the ice maker “ON” or “OFF”. The ice
maker is turned off when the LED above the
“Ice Off” icon is illuminated.
Using the ice maker
after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two (2) or three
(3) empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if
the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes
may be discolored or have an odd flavor.

NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after three (3) minutes
of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.

NOTE
Dispensed water is chilled. For colder
water, add ice to cup or container before
dispensing water.

NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal bale arm that automatically stops
ice production when the ice bin is full. This
signal arm should not be used to manually
stop the ice maker.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between
30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may
cause water filter to malfunction.
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, set the ice maker’s On/Off icon to
Off and turn off the water supply valve;
otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make
a loud chattering noise when it attempts to
operate without water.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will result in
existing ice melting in the bin.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice
dispenser. You will still be able to dispense water.
