IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
with the wire signal arm in the ON position.
To ensure proper function of your ice
maker, hook up water supply immediately
or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire
signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP
position (side mounted). If the ice maker is
not turned o and the water supply is not
connected, the water valve will make a loud
chattering noise.

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
Priming the Water Supply System
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes
several tubing lines, an advanced water lter,
a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank
(some models) to ensure ample supply to
the ice and water dispenser at all times. This
system needs to be completely lled with water
when rst connected to an external supply line.
To prime the water supply system:
1. Begin by pressing and holding a drinking
glass against the water dispenser paddle.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about four
minutes to ush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Ice Maker Operation & Care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer
compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It
can completely ll an ice bin in about two days.
Using the Ice Maker after
Installation
Before making ice for the rst time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three empty
ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system
is not ushed, the rst ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd avor.
Ice Production: What to Expect
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5
pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

Turning the SIDE MOUNTED Ice
Maker On and O
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal
arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice
maker turns o automatically when the ice
container becomes full. To stop the ice maker,
raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and
locks in the UP or OFF position.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30
psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause
water lter to malfunction.

NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts o the water ow after three minutes
of continuous use. To reset this shuto
device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
