Automatic Ice Maker

Ice pan is positively located in wire basket. Therefore,
ice bucket is always in correct position. Wire basket
slides forward for easy access of ice. Ice maker will not
produce ice when ice pan is not in place.
• After freezer section reaches normal
temperature, ice maker fills with water and begins
operating. Allow 24-48 hours after installation before
first harvest of ice. Ice maker produces 7 to 9
harvests of ice in a 24-hour period under ideal
conditions.
• After ice is formed, ice maker drops ice cubes into
ice pan. During ice production, ice maker arm raises
and lowers. When ice pan is full, ice maker arm
turns ice maker off. Discard first 3 harvests of ice
after initially connecting refrigerator to household
water supply and after extended periods of non-use.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm. A
definite click is heard when proper position is
reached.
Caution
To avoid damage to ice maker, observe the
following:
• Do not force ice maker arm down or up,
past stop position.
