Useful hints on the automatic ice maker
- The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down . . . ..for making ice automatically.
UP . . . ..to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not turn the ice maker on until it is connected to the
water supply.
- It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a corner. They
will break apart easily.
- The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is cold enough
to make ice. This can take overnight.
- If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed,
turn the Refrigerator Control toward a high number. Wait a day
and, if necessary, turn the Freezer Control knob toward C.
- Good water quality is important for good ice quality. If requir-
ed, connect the ice maker to a softened water supply. It is
important that the water softener be well maintained and
operating properly.
Water softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunctioning
softener can damage the ice maker mould and lead to poor
quality ice.

sary. Do not use sharp or cutting instruments to break up the

abrasive cleaners or solvents.
