ICE SERVICE
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker,
it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for
normal use. During the initial startup of your
refrigerator, no ice will be produced during the
first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing
lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or
three times before making a full tray of ice.
With no usage, it will take approximately one
to two days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first
production of ice cubes to be discolored or
have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during
the first 24 hours.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been
completed, the water supply 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.
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.

ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO
EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 3 pounds
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes
every 75 to 160 minutes.

NOTE
Automatic ice makers are also optional
accessories that may be installed in most
models at any time. Call your local dealer for
information.
CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener
can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker
is connected to soft water, ensure that the
softener is maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
with the wire signal arm in the ON position.
To ensure proper function of your ice maker,
hook up water supply immediately or turn
ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm
until it clicks and locks in the UP position.
If the ice maker is not turned off and
the water supply is not connected,
the water valve will make a loud
chattering noise.
CAUTION
DO NOT place the ice container in your
dishwasher.
