Connect the ice maker to the water
supply before turning it on.
Instructions for ice maker water
supply hook-up are attached to the
back of the refrigerator cabinet.
The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal
arm. Lower signal arm to make ice.
Raise signal arm to turn off the ice
maker.
Freezer must be cold enough for the
ice maker to work. This may take
eight hours or more before the right
temperature is reached.
"First" ice may be discolored or off-
flavored because of new plumbing
connections. Throw away first few
batches of ice.
Change ice cube size with the dial
or lever on the side of the ice maker.
Ice crescents are normally attached
at the corner. They break apart
easily.
Normal sounds include water
running when the ice maker is
working and the thud of ice as it
falls into the bin.
If ice is not being made fast enough
and more ice is needed, turn the
Refrigerator Control to a higher
number. Wait 24 hours, and if this
does not increase the ice supply,
turn the Freezer Control to C.
Raise the signal arm before you
remove the ice bin. When you
replace the bin, push it in a.ll the
way. Then lower the arm to the ON
position.
Cubes left in the bin for long
periods of time may develop an off-
flavor, like stale water. Throw old
cubes away. Cubes may also
become smaller if stored for a long
time.
. Good water quality is important for
good ice quality. It is not
recommended that you connect the
ice maker to a softened water
supply. If a softened water supply
cannot be avoided, it is important to
maintain the water softener so it
operates properly. Water softener
chemicals, such as salt from a
malfunctioning
softener, can
damage the ice maker mold and
lead to poor quality ice.
Ice cube trays
(Model RSZOCK)
Remove ice by slightly twisting the tray
with both hands.
NOTE:
The longer ice cubes are stored,
the smaller they get. Slow evaporation is
caused by the movement of cold air.
Cold water and ice dispenser
(M&de1 RS25AW)
Ice dispenser only
(Model RS22AR-1 dispenser arm)
The small tray below the dispenser is
designed to evaporate
small
spills. Do
not pour water into it. There is no drain
in this tray.
Dispensing ice:
1. Press a
sturdy
glass against the ice
dispenser bar. (Pressure and
tumbling ice can break a fragile
glass.)
2. Remove glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE:
"First" ice may be discolored or
off-flavored because of new plumbing
connections. Throw away first few
batches of ice.
Ice comes from the ice maker storage bin
in the freezer. When the dispenser bar is
pressed, ice falls through a chute
between the ice bin and dispenser and
out an open trap door. When the
dispenser bar is released, a faint buzzing
sound may be heard for a few seconds
as the trap door closes
Dispensing water:
1, Press a
sturdy
glass against the
water dispenser bar. (Pressure can
break
a
fragile glass.)
2. Remove glass to stop dispensing.
Chilled water comes from a 50-ounce
(1.5 L) tank (approximate) behind the
meat drawer. When the refrigerator is
first hooked up, rinse the tank and pipes
by pressing the water dispenser bar
with a sturdy glass or jar. Discard 2 to 3
quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). Then allow the first
tankful of water to chill for several hours.
Removing ice maker storage
bin
Remove, empty and clean ice maker
storage bin if: ice dispenser has not or
will not be used for a week or more; a
power failure causes ice to melt and
freeze together; or ice dispenser is not
used regularly.
1. Lift covering panel up from the
bottom and slide it back to the rear.
2. Lift the ice maker signal arm until it
clicks into the OFF position. Ice can
be dispensed, but no more will be
made.
3. Lift the front of the storage bin and
pull the bin out.
4. Empty the bin. Use hot or warm
water to melt any remaining ice.
Do
not use sharp objects to break up
ice in the bin. This can damage
the bin and dispenser mechanism.
5. Wash the bin with mild detergent.
Rinse well.
Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners or solvents.
6. Slide the bin back into place. Make
sure it is pushed in all the way.
7. Lower the signal arm to the ON
position to restart ice production.
8.
Lower covering panel.
Cold water and ice dispenser
tips
. Use only ice crescents from the ice
maker. Other shapes will not
dispense properly.
. Large amounts of ice (more than 2
glasses) should be taken from the
ice maker storage bin, not the
dispenser. The dispenser motor
may stop if the dispenser bar is held
in too long. If the motor stops, it will
restart in about 3 minutes.
