About The Automatic Icemaker - Kenmore 795.7160 Series Use & Care Manual

Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands in the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
OPERATION iNSTRUCTiONS
A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Power Switch
Shutoff Arm
NOTE: The water pressure must be between 20
and 120 psi (140 and 830 kPa) on models
without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi (280 and 830kPa) on models with
a water filter.
The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle--
approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
If the refrigerator is used before the water connection
is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to
Off (O).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to On (I).
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Discard the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
Automatic Shutoff Arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic
Shutoff Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)
• 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.
NOTE: If the house water supply (cold water only)
is not hooked up or not turned on fully, turn the
icemaker to the Off (O) position to prevent noise
and possible damage. Do not turn the icemaker
On (I) until an adequate water supply is connected.
• 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 Off (O) 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.
