Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, slide the power switch to the
ON position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to 15°F. When the bin fills to the level of the
feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing
ice.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of
the feeler arm.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on
freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and
other use conditions.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker fills with water.
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.
CAUTION
Avoid contact with the
moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or
with the heating element (located on the
bottom of the ice maker) that releases the
cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the
automatic ice making mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
