About the automatic icemaker.
A newly installed refrigerator may take J2 to 2/4 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Icemaker
[cemaker
PowerLight Feeler A rm
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle-approximately 100-1]0 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
See below for how to access ice and reach
the power switch on dispenser models.
If the refrigerator isoperated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the O (off) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set the power switch to the
I (on) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to 15°F(-10°C). A newly installedrefrigerator
may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice
cubes.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of iceto
allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
NOTE:In homes with lower-than-average
water pressure,Fou maF hear the icemaker
cgcle multiple times when making one batch
of ice.
