Optional automatic ice maker...
If you have the automatic ice maker accessory
or plan to add one later (Part No. ECKMF-83),
there are a few things you will want to know:
l
The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down...for making ice automatically.
Up...to shut off the ice maker.
l
Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa-
rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity
l
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
LOWER SlA?==\
ARM TO START IT
l
You will hear water running when ice maker is
working. You'll 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 can take
overnight.
l
Because of new plumbing connections, the first
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard
the first few batches of ice.
l
If ice is not being made fast enough and more
ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control to-
ward a higher number. Wait a day and, if neces-
sary, turn the Freezer Control toward A.
l
If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to
shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin,
push it all the way in and lower the arm to the ON
position.
l
If cubes are stored too long, they may develop
an off-flavor...like stale water. Throw them away.
They will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can
also become smaller by evaporation.
. Good water quality is important for godd ice
quality It is not recommended that the ice maker
be connected to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-
tioning softener can damage the ice maker
mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened
water supply cannot be avoided, then it is impor-
tant that the water softener be well maintained
and operating properly.
