Automatic cemaker and ice Dispenser
See separate Wafer Line Installation Requirements
induded in both the literature pack and on the back
of the refrigeratar.
An automatic icemaker and a dispenser provide ice
cubes and crushed ice through the freezer
compartment door°
Here's how they work:
When selector switch is
set at CUBED iCE...
(1) Automatic icemaker
fills the
(2) ice storage bin.
(3) Pressure on ice
cradle activates
(4) motor-powered auger
and feeds cubes into
glass through the
(5) chute.
When switch is moved to CRUSHED ICE, baffle
in housing channels cubes through the
(6) crusher and crushed ice falls into the glass
through the chute. Spills are caught in a
(7) recessed area°
Water is supplied automatically to the icemaker by a
solenoid valve_ A connection to the household cold
water system is all that's needed_
important Facts about Your Dispenser
e Your icemaker will produce eight cubes
per cycle--approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour
period--depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door
openings and other use conditions_
e Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal.
If ice flow interruption is more than brief, ice
clump(s) may be the cause and should be removed
following instructions on page 11.
e Avoid overfilling glasses with ice and using
narrow or extra.tall glasses. This can jam the
chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut_
Periodically open the freezer compartment door and
look down into the chute. If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon_
e To help keep blfs of ice from being sprayed
beyond the glass, place glass close to ice chute--
but not so dose that it blocks outcoming ice_
e Do not dispense ice into thin glasses, fine
china or delicate crystalmthey can crack or chip
from combined pressure of hand pressing them
against cradle and ice dropping into container_
o Dispense ice before filling glass with soda or
other beverage m|xes. This will prevent splashing
which is annoying and which, if the splash reaches
the ice selector switch, could cause it to stick or bind°
Beverages and foods should not be quick-
chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or
food packages in the storage bin may cause the
icemaker to malfunction
o ice other than that produced by your
icemaker should not be added to the ice
storage bin_it may not crush or dispense well.
If your refrigerator is
operated before the
water connection is
made, remove the ice
storage bin and make
sure the icemaker feeler
arm is in the OFF (up)
position.
To remove the ice
storage bin, lift the
front of the bin and pull
the bin straight out while
supporting it at front
and rear.
To replace the ice
storage bin, slide it
back on the ice bin shelf_
If the bin does not go all
the way back, remove it
and rotate the drive
mechanism 1/4 turn_
Then push the bin back
again.
When water supply has been connected to
icernaker, move feeler arm to ON (down) position_
The ice cube mold will automatically fill with water
after cooling to freezing temperature, and first cubes
normally freeze after several hours.
