A~L~"FW~A~CICE~MAKER
(Optional)
The automatic ice maker is available as an
optional at our Service Centres or local Retailer.
Here are some suggestions on how to operate it:
The ON/OFF lever indicates:
l
Down: automatically makes ice;
l
Up: ice maker stops.
NOTE: Do not run ice maker until it is
connected to the water supply. Please refer to
the instructions in the corresponding
paragraph.
l
The lever on the side of the ice maker
changes the size of the cubes.
l
Shake the bin occasionally to keep the cubes
separated and to increase storage capacity.
l
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached
by a corner. They will break apart easily.
l
You will hear water running when the ice
maker is working. You will also hear ice fall
Into the bin. Don't let these sounds
bother you.
l
The ice maker will not operate until the
freezer is cold enough to make ice. This
normally takes overnight.
l
Because of new plumbing connections, the
first ice cubes may be discoloured or off-
flavoured. Discard the first few batches of
ice cubes.
l
If ice is not being made fast enough and
more ice is needed, turn the freezer
thermostat to a higher number. Wait a day
and, if necessary, turn the thermostat up to
an even higher number.
l
If you remove the ice cube bin, raise the lever
to the OFF position (turns ice maker off).
When you put the bin back into place, push
it all the way in and lower the lever to the
ON position (turns ice maker on).
l
If ice cubes are stored for too long they may
develop an off-flavour, like stale water.
Discard,them. The ice cubes in the bin may
also become smaller due to evaporation.
Water softened with chemicals can damage the
ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, then
it is important that the water softener is well
maintained and operates properly.
