IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work
as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot
connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off icon
to Off and turn off the water supply valve; otherwise,
theicemaker’sllvalvemaymakealoudchattering
noise when it attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed
in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in
normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing
these more frequently, it may be an indication of low
waterpressureorthewaterlterneedstobereplaced.
Asthewaterlternearstheendofitsusefullifeand
becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered
to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it’s
been six (6) months or longer since you last changed
yourwaterlter,replacethewaterlterwithanewone.
