Automatic Icemaker - Kenmore 795.5181 Use & Care Manual

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to
the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per
cycle - approximately 120-140 cubes in a 24-hour
period, depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and other
operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to occur.
• Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When
full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-
16 oz) glasses of ice.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
• The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi (138 to 827 kPa) on models without a water
fi lter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a
water fi lter to produce the normal amount and size of
ice cubes.
• The ice cube size selector button is used to compensate
for high or low water pressure. If you have low water
pressure coming to your refrigerator, you may need
to select the highest setting. For high water pressure,
select a lower setting.
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 bin is removed for more than one or two
minutes.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF (O)
position.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fi lls
with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position,
it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to
water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to
OFF (O).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) 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 refi lls.
Personal Injury Hazard
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or the heating element that releases
the cubes.DO NOT place fi ngers or hands on the
automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator
