AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Refrigerator Ice Maker (External Dispenser Models Only)
Priming the water supply system
Using the 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 have discolored
water or have an odd flavor.
Purge air from the system
1.
Press and hold a drinking glass
against the water dispenser paddle
until water comes out (it may take
up to 4 minutes to purge air from
the system).
2. Run approximately 1 full gallon of
water through the dispenser before
use, and discard.

CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, the
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause the
system to malfunction.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in de-
vice that shuts off the water flow after
3 minutes of continuous use. To reset
this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For
colder water, add ice to cup or contain-
er before dispensing water.
Ice maker operation & care
After you properly install the refrigerator
and it has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
The ice maker fills the ice bin from the
rear. You must dispense some ice to force
the ice forward in the bin. This allows the
bin to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
In a standard depth model, the
refrigerator ice maker should produce 3
to 3.4 lbs of ice per 24 hours. In a counter
depth model, the refrigerator ice maker
should produce 2.7 to 3.2 lbs of ice per
24 hours.
In a standard depth model, the
refrigerator ice bin holds around 5 lbs
of ice. In a counter depth model, the
refrigerator ice bin holds around 3.7 lbs
of ice.
