WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
IMPORTANT
The ice maker is shipped in the On position.
To ensure proper function for your ice maker,
hook up the water supply immediately or turn
the ice maker OFF. If the ice maker is on and
the water supply is not connected, the water
valve will make a loud chattering noise.
Turning your Ice Maker On
After completely connecting the plumbing, you
must open the water supply valve. Place the
ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as
far back as possible. Press the ice maker’s On/
Off button.
Turning your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, press the ice maker’s On/
Off button. The ice maker regulates the ice
production and stops making ice when full and
starts again when ice is low in the ice container.
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT
TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2 to 2.5 pounds
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10
cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.

NOTE
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, it will produce minimal ice during
the rst 24 hours of operation. Air in new
plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to
cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of
ice. With no usage, it will take approximately
1 to 2 days to ll the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the
rst production of ice cubes to be discolored
or have an odd avor. Discard ice made
during the rst 24 hours.

NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional accessories
that may be installed in most models at any
time. Visit www.frigidaire.com for information
