ICE AND WATER
Automatic Ice Maker
Note: Energy rating guides that are posted on
the refrigerator at the time of purchase do not
include optional ice maker energy usage.
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic
ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This will help protect you from possible
injury. It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored, usually appearing with a green-
bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration
can be a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household plumbing
and the accumulation of copper salts in an
inactive water supply line which feeds the ice
maker. Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and
contact your dealer to purchase and install a water
line filter.
• Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.
WARNING
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructed on pages 6-7. Proper water flow and a
level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice
maker performance.
Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is
down.
• To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin,
lift open the door on the ice bin.
• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F
(-18° to -17° C), ice maker fills with water and
begins operating. You will have a complete harvest
of ice approximately every three hours.
• Allow approximately 3-6 hours after
installation to receive first harvest
of ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12
hours of operation to verify system
is flushed of impurities.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until
click is heard.
• Ice maker will remain in the OFF position until arm
is pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in
the supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends.
They can easily be broken apart. The ice maker
will continue to make ice until the supply of ice
cubes raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice
maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles
of the ice maker. The motor may have a slight
hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty
storage pan and the water valve may click or
“buzz” occasionally.
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste
stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and
wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin
thoroughly before replacing it.
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the
ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can
block the ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
• Turn OFF the ice maker by raising the ice maker arm
when the water supply is to be shut off for several
hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker OFF by raising the sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker
ON by lowering the ice maker arm.
