Automatic Icemaker
Power SwitchAuto shutoff (feeler arm)
NOTE
• The automatic icemaker can automatically make
12 cubes at a time, 50-110 pieces within a 24 hour
period if conditions are favorable. This amount
may vary according to the environment (ambient
temperature around the appliance, frequency of the
door being opened, amount of food stored in the
appliance, etc.).
• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice
production will stop.
• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
• The icemaker produces ice once approximately 48
hours have passed after the appliance is initially
installed.
• Discard the first ice cubes produced after initial
install.
• Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a
long time may clump together and be difficult
to separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin
completely and clean it before reinstalling it.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic
ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
• Do not keep the power turned on to the icemaker
it can damage the icemaker.
CAUTION
Never store beverage cans or other items in
the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the
containers may burst.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the
ice door and passage.
Turning the Automatic Icemaker On
or Off
To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
NOTE
• Keeping the power turned on to the icemakers
before the water line is connected can damage
the icemakers.
• The icemaker water valve buzzes as the icemaker
fills with water. If the Ice On/Off button is in the ON
mode, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked
up to water. To stop the buzzing, press the Ice On/
Off button to turn it off.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
Preparing for Vacation
Normal Sounds You May Hear
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut
off the water supply to the appliance.
NOTE
• The ice bin should be emptied any time the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF (O)
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified technician drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or
connections.
