Ice Maker
After your refrigerator
has been connected
to the water
supply, move the wire lever arm into the down position.
This will start its operation.
The ice maker will fill with
water when the freezer reaches the proper temperature.
It
may be 8 to 12 hours before the ice maker furnishes
any
usable ice cubes.
Discard all the cubes from the first two or three batches
made. These initial ice cubes may be irregularly
shaped,
discolored,
or contain
impurities
from
the new water
supply piping.
When the ice cubes are ejected
it is normal
for several
cubes to be joined together
at the ends. They can easily
be broken apart. The ice maker will continue
to make ice
until the supply of ice cubes raises the wire lever arm,
shutting the ice maker off.
To manually
stop the operation
of the ice maker, move
the wire lever arm into the up (off) position.
Certain sounds may accompany
the various cycles of the
ice maker.
• buzzing of the water valve
• running of the water as the tray fills
• rattling of the ice cubes falling into an empty ice bin.
If the ice is not used frequently,
the ice cubes will become
cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the
ice storage
bin periodically
and wash
it in lukewarm
water. Be sure to dry the bin before replacing
it.
To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift
open the door on the ice bin.
To remove the bin, first turn off the ice maker.
This is
done by opening the door on the ice bin and moving the
ice maker wire lever up to the "off' position.
Then reach
under the bin front and pull down on the back edge. After
it snaps free, pull the bin straight forward.
To replace the
ice bin, align the bottom rails to the corresponding
shelf
grooves
and push
it straight
back
until
it stops
and
latches.
Make sure the tabs at the back of the bin that
turn the spiral auger are positioned
between
the prongs
from the auger motor.
Turn the ice maker on by low-
ering the wire arm.
Beverages
and loods
should not be placed
in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the
wire lever arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.
For Your Safety
Do not place fingers or tmands on the automatic
ice
making mechanism
while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
Under
certain
rare circumstances,
ice cubes may be
discolored,
usually
appearing
with
a green-bluish
hue.
The
cause
of this unusual
discoloration
is a
combination
of factors such as certain
characteristics
of local waters,
household
plumbing
and the accu-
mulation
of copper
salts in an inactive
water supply
line which feeds the ice maker.
Contimaed
consumption
of such discolored
ice cubes
may be injurious
to health.
If such discoloration
is
observed,
discard
the ice cubes
and contact
your
local water unity
or water treatment
c_mpany.
