How to use the Automatic Icemaker
The dispenser icemaker will produce 10 cubes per cycle.
The freezer icemaker will produce 7 cubes per cycle.
• T he dispenser icemaker will produce approximately
216 - 288 cubes (20 - 24 cycles a day) in a 24
hour period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door
opening and other user conditions.
• T he freezer icemaker will produce 50 to 70 ice cubes
in a 24 hour period depending on the same conditions
listed above.
• I t is normal for the icemaker to make banging sounds
when the ice cubes are falling into the ice storage bin
• T o prevent bad odor smell, regularly clean the ice cube
storage bin.
• If the amount of ice in the storage bin is not sufficient,
the ice may not be dispensed. Wait a day or so to
make more ice.
• I f the ice does not dispense easily, ensure the dispenser
outlet is not blocked.
• T hrow away the first few batches of ice to allow the
water line to clear. Be sure nothing interferes with
the level of the optical sensor space at the dispenser
icemaker base or the shutoff arm of the freezer
icemaker.
Dispenser Icemaker
Icemaking will stop when the dispenser ice bin fills to the
level of the optical sensor, or when the freezer ice bin fills
and pushes the shutoff arm all the way up.
Clear the bin of of excessive ice. If you remove bin for
clearing, return bin correctly into place. Icemaking will
resume after the ice bin is cleared to below the optical
sensor in the dispenser icemaker, or cleared to allow the
shutoff arm to lower in the freezer icemaker.
It is normal for several ice cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
shrunken, cloudy and taste stale. If you won't use ice
frequently, shut icemaking off.
