Automatic Ice & Water Dispenser
Priming The Water Supply
System
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes
several tubing lines, an advanced water filter, a
distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to ensure
ample supply to the ice and water dispenser at all
times. This system needs to be completely filled with
water when first connected to an external supply line.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30
psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause
water filter to malfunction.
To prime the water supply system:
1. Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes
out of the dispenser. There will be noticeable
spurts and sputters as the system pushes air
out through the system and dispenser nozzle. It
may take about 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about 3
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after 3 minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
CAUTION
Pushing the dispensing paddle in for more
than 4 minutes may cause the dispenser motor
to overload and stop. The overload protector
resets automatically after 3-4 minutes.
Ice Dispenser Operation & Care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer
compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can
completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every
24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is
produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the
wire signal arm in the ON position (side mounted)
or with the switch turned ON (rear mounted). To
ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up
water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF
by turning the On/Off switch to the Off (O) position.
If the ice maker is not turned off and the water
supply is not connected, the water valve will make
a loud chattering noise.
Using The Ice Dispenser 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.
Turning The Ice Dispenser On And Off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/
Off power switch. To gain access to the ice maker,
pull the ice cream tray out. Press the switch to
the "O" position to turn it Off and press to the "I"
position to turn it On.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,
which automatically stops ice production when the
ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
