The automaticice maker is designed to furnish a continual supply of ice cubes. The
amount of ice produceddepends on the temperature in the freezer section of your
refrigerator.The colderthefreezer section,the more ice isproduced.We suggestyou
startwithyourrefrigerator and freezercontrolsat theirmidsettings. In mostcases,this
is satisfactory. If the door to the refrigeratoror freezer is opened frequentlyor
temperatures In the kitchen are abnormally high, a colder setting may be necessary.
Afteryour model has been installedand the watersupplyconnectedto the ice maker,
itmay take 8 to 12 hoursbeforethe ice makerfurnishesany usable icecubes, The first
one or two harvests will probably contain undersized and irregularcubes because of
air in the supplyline. The initialharvestmay alsocontainimpuritiesfromthe newwater
supply piping. Therefore, all cubes from the first two or three harvests should be
discarded.
Undercertain rare circumstances, i cecubes may be discolored,usuallyappearingwith
a green-bluish hue. The causeof this unusualdiscolorationisapparentlya combination
of factors such as certain characteristicsof local waters, householdplumbingand the
accumulation of coppersalts in an inactive watersupplyline which feeds the ice maker.
Continued consumptionof such discolored icecubesmay be injuriousto health. If such
discoloration is observed,discardthe ice cubesand contactthe dealer from whomthe
ice maker or refrigeratorwas purchased.
Ice cubes that have been in the ice storage for a considerable length of time may pick
up off-flavor taste, sticktogether, and gradually become smaller. We suggest that these
cubes be thrown away. We also suggest using an open box of baking soda in the
refrigerator for food odor absorption.
Certain soundsmay accompany the various cycles ofthe ice maker. Examplesare: (f)
the motor may have a slighthum, (2) the cubes will rattle as they fall intoan empty storage
bin, and (3) the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally. All of these sounds are
normal and should be ignored.
Note: When dispensing ice cubes, it is importantthat you use only the ice supplied by
this icemaker. Icefromanyothersourcecouldcause an icejam. If thishappens,remove
and discard all ice from the storagebin and any ice lodged in the ice chute.
