The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle–approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other use
conditions.
To access the icemaker: Pull the shelf above
the ice drawer straight out. Always be sure
to replace the shelf.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the
power switch in the O position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch
to the l position.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to – 10°C. A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow
the water line to clear.
Ice Storage Drawer
To access ice, pull the drawer forward.
To remove:
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position. Pull the drawer straight out and
then lift past the stop position.
To replace:
When replacing the drawer, be sure to press
it firmly into place. If it does not go all the way
back, remove it and rotate the drive mechanism
1/4 turn. Then push the drawer back again.
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.
If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, the green
power light will blink. To correct this, set the
power switch to O and remove the cubes.
Set the power switch to I to restart the icemaker.
After the icemaker has been turned on again,
there will be a delay of about 45 minutes before
the icemaker resumes operation.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.
WARNING:
water supply only. Installation of the icemaker
must be done by a qualified service technician.
