Ice Service
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient
suppiy of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your refrigerator,
however, no ice wili be produced during the first 24 hours of operation.
Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be instalied in
most models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water suppiy valve
must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as
far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be discarded until
the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the
“up" or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf
in the lower position, so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the
container is full.
