Automatic ice maker tips.
. 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 comer. 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.
n
Raise the signal arm before you
remove the ice bin. When you return
the bin, push it all the way in and
lower the arm to the ON position.
n
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.
