Automatic Ice Maker - Freezer
Operation & Care of the Freezer
Ice Maker
(select models)
After the refrigerator is installed properly,
the ice maker can produce ice within
24 hours. When using the ice maker for
the first time, and in order for it to work
properly, it is necessary to clear air from
the water tubing and the filter. Furthermore,
if the system is not flushed, the first ice
cubes may be discolored or have an odd
flavor. Once the ice maker begins making
ice, allow the bin to fill completely, then
discard the first FULL bin of ice on a
Standard Depth model, and the first TWO
FULL bins of ice on a Counter Depth model.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce between 2 and
2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on
usage conditions. In a Standard Depth model,
the ice bin will hold about 12 pounds of ice. In
a Counter Depth model, the ice bin will hold
about 7 pounds of ice.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can work as soon as you
install your refrigerator. If you cannot
connect a water supply, lift the ice
maker's wire signal arm to turn it off.
Otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may
make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
Turning the ice maker on and off
The ice maker is turned off and on by
lifting/lowering
the ice maker's
wire signal arm.
To gain access
to the ice
maker, pull the
freezer drawer
out. Lift the
wire signal arm
to turn the ice
maker OFF and
lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.
Ice maker tips
The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd
flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
If the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly
maintained. Chemicals from a water
softener can damage the ice maker.
Express Chill Function
Your refrigerator is equipped with a
Express Chill Function for freezing food
at a faster rate, but it can also increase
ice production. This function terminates
automatically after 12 hours. This function
affects only the ice maker in the freezer.
NOTE
For Non Dispenser models choose the
Quick Ice Function.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
1 Turn off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely
5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if an
extended power failure (one hour or longer)
ON
causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and
refreeze together after power is restored.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen
the cubes or clean as explained above.
OFF
Wire
Signal Arm
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
