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, turn the ice maker’s
On/Off switch to Off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s

If you have a side mounted ice maker you may also
experience hollow cubes partially frozen cubes with
water inside. When these cubes are harvested, they
break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in
the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. As the

The ice maker produces four to six pounds of ice every
24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced
at a rate of eight cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
