AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER Using the ice maker after installation Before making ice for the first 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 flushed , the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Priming the water supply system CAUTION For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 206kPa and 689kPa (30PSI and 100PSI).
Ice maker/dispenser tips Remove and empty the ice bin if: • If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as d escribed in the previous section. • An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism. • The following sound s are normal when the ice maker is operating: • You do not use the ice dispenser frequently.
IMPORTANT When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accid entally rotated , you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the d rive mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not d ispense ice. The fresh food d oor also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
