later (Part No. IMKIT), there are a few things
you will want to know:

Down . . .

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
Capity.
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 overnight.
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. Wail 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 in all the way and
lower the signal 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.
