Automatic
cemaker and ice Dispenser
See separate
Wafer Line Installation
Requirements
induded
in both the literature
pack and on the back
of the refrigeratar.
An automatic
icemaker
and a dispenser provide
ice
cubes and crushed ice through
the freezer
compartment
door°
Here's how they work:
When selector
switch is
set at CUBED iCE...
(1) Automatic
icemaker
fills the
(2) ice storage bin.
(3) Pressure on ice
cradle activates
(4) motor-powered
auger
and feeds cubes into
glass through
the
(5) chute.
When
switch
is moved
to CRUSHED ICE, baffle
in housing channels
cubes through
the
(6) crusher and crushed ice falls into the glass
through
the chute. Spills are caught in a
(7) recessed area°
Water is supplied
automatically
to the icemaker
by a
solenoid
valve_ A connection
to the household
cold
water system is all that's needed_
important
Facts about Your Dispenser
e Your icemaker
will
produce
eight cubes
per cycle--approximately
120 cubes in a 24-hour
period--depending
on freezer compartment
temperature,
room temperature,
number of door
openings
and other use conditions_
e Intermittent
dispensing
of ice is normal.
If ice flow interruption
is more than brief, ice
clump(s)
may be the cause and should be removed
following instructions on page 11.
e Avoid overfilling
glasses with ice and using
narrow
or extra.tall
glasses. This can jam the
chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut_
Periodically
open the freezer compartment
door and
look down into the chute. If ice is blocking
the chute,
poke it through
with a wooden
spoon_
e To help keep blfs of ice from being sprayed
beyond
the glass, place glass close to ice chute--
but not so dose that it blocks outcoming ice_
e Do not dispense
ice into thin
glasses, fine
china or delicate
crystalmthey
can crack or chip
from combined
pressure of hand pressing them
against cradle and ice dropping into container_
o Dispense
ice before
filling
glass with soda or
other
beverage
m|xes. This will prevent splashing
which is annoying and which, if the splash reaches
the ice selector
switch, could cause it to stick or bind°
• Beverages
and foods should not be quick-
chilled
in the ice storage
bin. Cans, bottles or
food packages in the storage bin may cause the
icemaker to malfunction
o ice other
than that produced
by your
icemaker
should not be added
to the ice
storage
bin_it
may not crush or dispense well.
If your
refrigerator
is
operated
before
the
water
connection
is
made, remove the ice
storage bin and make
sure the icemaker
feeler
arm is in the OFF (up)
position.
To remove
the ice
storage
bin, lift the
front of the bin and pull
the bin straight
out while
supporting
it at front
and rear.
To replace
the ice
storage
bin, slide it
back on the ice bin shelf_
If the bin does not go all
the way back, remove it
and rotate the drive
mechanism
1/4 turn_
Then push the bin back
again.
When water
supply has been connected
to
icernaker,
move feeler arm to ON (down) position_
The ice cube mold will automatically
fill with water
after cooling
to freezing temperature,
and first cubes
normally freeze after several hours.
