Personal Injury Hazard
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that releases
the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the
automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
NOTE: Automatic Ice Maker feature is included only in
certain models. Please check your product specification.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Ice Maker
The ice maker produces 12 cubes per cycle (in between
80 and 100 cubes in a 24 hour period), depending on
the temperature of the freezer, the times in which the
door opens, and other using conditions (amount of food
in the freezer, etc)
If the refrigerator is used before the connection of water
to the ice maker was performed, you must turn its dial
to O (OFF).
When the water connections are performed, turn its dial
to I (ON).
The ice maker will fill up (and start making ice) between
12 and 24 hours after the refrigerator is turned on.
Throw away the first batch of ice. Make sure that nothing
interferes with the sensor.
When the ice reaches the sensor, the ice maker will stop
to make ice immediately.
It's normal that some ice gets stuck. If the ice is not used
frequently, the older cubes of ice will be opaque in color,
smaller, and with a strange flavour.
ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO O (OFF)
• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a
minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
with water. If the power switch is in the I (ON) position, it
will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water.
To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (OFF).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (ON) position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to O (OFF) and shut off the
water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have
a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding from
ruptured water lines or connections.
