Tostartthe automaticicemakingoperation:
*Make sure the shelf under the icemaker is in the
factory-set position. Two clips hold it in place where
it belongs to assure proper icemaking operation.
o Place the ice storage bin directly under the icemaker
and all the way to the rear.
0 Move the icemaker feeler arm to the ON (down)
position.
The ice cube mold will fill with water automatically
after cooling to freezing temperature, and first cubes
will normally freeze after several hours. When cubes
are solidly frozen, they will be ejected from the mold
into the ice storage bin. Icemaking will continue until
the feeler arm senses a sufficient accumulation of ice
cubes in the storage bin and halts the operation
temporarily. For maximum ice storage, level the
stored cubes with yOLU- hand occasionally. Be sure
nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.
The icemaker ejects cubes in groLlpsof eight and it is
normal for several cubes to be joined together.
Once your icmaker is in oimwtion, throw
away the fi!*stfew batches of ice cubes.
This will
flush away any impurities in the water line. Do the
same thing affcr vacalionsor cxtcndwl periods when
ice isn't used.
I
Caution:
Under certain rare circumstam.ws, i ce cubes may bc
discolored, LIsua]]y appearing with a green-b]uish
color. The cause of this UnUSUal discoloraticmis
apparently due to a combinationof factorssuch m
certain characteristicsof local waters, househoki
plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in
an inactive water supply line which feeds the
icemaker. Continued consumption of such
discolored ice cubes may be injurious to your
health. If such discolorationis observed, discard
the ice cubes and contact your GE Factory Service
Center or an authorized Customer Care@ servicer.
