THE AUTOMATIC la MAKER
Read the information beiow to iearn how to operate
your ice maker. Before you turn the ice maker on,
be sure that it is attached to a water supply. Instruc­
tions for the ice maker water suppiy hookup are on
pages 9-10 of this manual.
• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm. Push the
arm down to start making ice automaticaiiy, and
push it up to shut off the ice maker.
• It is normal for the ice to be attached at the
corners. It will break apart easily.
• The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is
cold enough to make ice. This can take as long as
overnight.
• If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice
is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a
higher number in half number steps. (For example,
if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.)
Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn
the Freezer Control toward C, waiting 24 hours in
between each increase.
REMEMBER:
• The quality of your ice will be only as good as the
quality of the water supply that the ice maker is
hooked up to.
• Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened
water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as
salt) can damage the ice maker mold and lead to
poor quality ice. If a softened water supply
cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener
is operating properly and is well maintained.

The ice dispenser
The ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin
located in the freezer. When you press the dis­
penser bar, a trapdoor opens in a chute between
the dispenser and the ice bin. The ice moves from
the bin and falls through the chute. When you
release the dispenser bar, a buzzing sound may be
heard for a few seconds as the trapdoor closes.
^WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice
or water.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
