Using the automatic ice maker
Here are a few things you will want to know about
your automatic ice maker:
• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down ... to make ice automatically.
Up ... to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is
connected to the water supply. Instructions for
ice maker water supply hook up are attach­
ed to the back of the refrigerator cabinet.
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by
a corner. They will break apart easily.
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer
is cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.
If ice is not being made fast enough and more
ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control
toward a higher number. Wait a day and, if
necessary, turn the Freezer Control toward C.
Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice
maker be connected to a softened water
supply. Water softener chemicals, such as salt
from a malfunctioning softener, can damage the
ice maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, it is
important that the water softener be well
maintained and operating properly.
