Automatic Ice & Water Dispenser - Westinghouse WQE6870SA User Manual

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER
DISPENSER
Using the ice maker 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.
Priming the water supply system
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between
206kPa and 689kPa (30PSI and 100PSI).
Excessive pressure may cause the system to
malfunction.
1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the dispenser.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes
out of the d ispenser. It may take about 1½
minutes.
3. Continue d ispensing water for about four
minutes to flush the system and
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Dispenser
Note: The water d ispenser has a built-in device
that shuts off the water flow after three minutes
of continuous use. To reset this shut-off device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
Only the first 750 ml of dispensed water is
chilled.
WARNING
Flushing system about 2 minutes after period of
non-use exceeding 30 days
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has
cooled for several hours, the ice maker can
produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill
the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some
ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will
allow the bin to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 1 kg of ice per 24
hours. The ice bin will hold about 1.8 kg of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can
work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If
you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice
maker's On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice
maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering
noise when it attempts to operate without water.
plumbing
Ice prod uction is controlled by the ice maker's
On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing the
On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.
Note: The ice maker also has a built-in
plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. This signal
arm should not be used to manually stop the
ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply d isables ice
making. You will still be able to dispense existing
ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be
noticed in the bucket or in d ispensed ice. This
could occur in normal operation of the ice maker.
If you start seeing these more frequently, it may
be an ind ication of low water pressure, or that
the water filter need s to be replaced . As the
water filter nears the end of its useful life and
becomes clogged with particles, less water is
d elivered to the ice maker during each cycle.
Remember, if it has been six months or longer
since you last changed your water filter, replace
the water filter with a new one. Poor quality
household
