Ice Service
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, minimal ice
will be produced 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.
Turning Your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the
water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible.
Press the ice maker’s On/O button.
Turning Your Ice Maker O
To stop the ice maker, press the ice maker’s On/O
button. The ice maker also turns o automatically when
the ice container is full.
IMPORTANT
To ensure proper function for your ice maker, hook up
water supply immediately or turn 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.
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.
Ice Maker Tips
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.
• Wash ice container in warm water with mild detergent.
Rinse well and dry.
• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or for
short vacations.
• If the ice maker will be turned o for a long period of
time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
Remember that water quality determines your ice quality.
If the water source uses a water softener, ensure that the
softener is maintained and working properly. Chemicals
from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker.
