Ice Maker Operation
T
he ice maker in your integrated combination or freezer
model is fully automatic and has been factory tested. It
requires a connection to the house water supply.
To put into operation, the ice maker system must be
turned on by the ICE ON/OFF key pad, located on the
electronic control panel. Refer to ice maker control on
page 11.
For column models, the ice maker must be turned off at
the control panel when the ice storage container is
removed. For tall and drawer models, the ice maker shuts
off when you remove the ice storage container. When you
reinstall the container, the ice maker will resume ice
production.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The first container filled with ice
should be discarded, as with any new connection there
may be impurities in the ice from the water supply line.
Sounds
Y
ou may hear some noises in the normal operation of the
integrated unit. Surrounding acoustics like walls, floors
and cabinets may affect the sound of your unit. For
example, a gurgling or running water sound is probably
refrigerant circulating through the tubing.
During the ice maker cycle you may hear the sound of ice
dropping into the container or the solenoid valve operating
while refilling the ice maker with water. During the freezer
defrost you may hear crackling and/or sizzling as the heat
from the defrost element clears the frost from the freezer
coil and water runs into the water pan.
While the compressors are in operation, you may hear a
slight hum. During the start-up and shutdown of the
compressor, you may feel vibration for a few seconds.
Some of these noises may be enhanced when the unit's
door or drawers are open.
