If your freezer has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient supply
of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your freezer, however, no ice
will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Automatic ice makers
are also optional accessories that may be installed in some models at any
time. Call your local dealer for information.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve
must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far
back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position. New
plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be discarded until
the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the
"up" or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf
in the lower position, so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the
container is full.
IMPORTANT: Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal arm in the
ON position. To ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up water
supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm
until it clicks and locks in the UP position.
IMPORTANT: Check the leveling bracket on the ice maker to ensure the
ice maker is level. If the gap between the freezer wall and the ice maker
is the same at top and bottom, then the ice maker is level.
If the ice maker is not level, loosen the screw and slide the bracket to
the correct position to make it level. Retighten the screw.
You'll need a 1/4" socket wrench for this task.
ICE MAKER TIPS
•
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is in
its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.
•
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
•
Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position until the freezer is connected to the water supply or whenever the
water supply is turned off.
•
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
•
Motor running
•
Ice loosening from tray
•
Ice dropping into ice container
•
Running water
•
Water valve opening or closing
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.
•
Wash the ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.
•
Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
•
If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
