Optional automatic ice maker
If you have the automatic ice maker accessory
(Pat-t No. ECKMF-90) or if you plan to add one
later, there are a few things you will want to know:
l
The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down for making ice automatically
Up to shut off the ice maker
NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is
connected to the water supply. Instructions for
ice maker water suoolv hook-uo are attached
to the back of the refriaerator cabinet.
l
The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker
changes the size of the cubes.
l
Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes
separated, and to obtain increased storage
capacity.
l
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
l
You will hear water running when ice maker is
working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let
these sounds bother you.
l
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is
cold enough to make ice. This can take over-
night.
l
Because of new plumbing connections, the first
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard
the first few batches of ice.
l
If ice is not being made fast enough and more
ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control
toward a higher number. Wait a day and, if
necessary, turn the Freezer Control toward A.
l
If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to
shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin,
push it all the way in and lower the arm to the
ON position.
l
If cubes are stored too long, they may develop
an off-flavor like stale water. Throw them
away. Ice maker will make new ice. Cubes in the
ice bin can also become smaller by evaporation.
l
Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker
be connected to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-
tioning softener can damage the ice maker mold
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water
supply cannot be avoided, then it is important
that the water softener be well maintained and
operating properly.
