AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Refrigerator Ice Maker (External Dispenser Models Only)
Priming the water supply system
Using the dispenser after
installation
Before making ice for the first time, be
sure to prime the water supply system.
Air in new plumbing lines can result in
two or three empty ice maker cycles.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed,
the first ice cubes may have discolored
water or have an odd flavor.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause the system
to malfunction.
1. Begin filling the system by pressing
and holding a drinking glass against
the water dispenser paddle.
2. Keep the glass in this position until
water comes out of the dispenser. It
may take about 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about
four minutes to flush the system
and plumbing connections of any
impurities (stopping to empty the
glass as necessary).

NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in de-
vice that shuts off the water flow after
three minutes of continuous use. To
reset this shutoff device, simply release
the dispenser paddle.

NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For
colder water, add ice to cup or contain-
er before dispensing water.
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the
rear. You must dispense some ice to force
the ice forward in the bin. This will allow
the bin to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
In a Standard Depth model, the
refrigerator ice maker should produce 3.0
to 3.4 pounds of ice per 24 hours. In a
Counter Depth model, the refrigerator ice
maker should produce 2.7 to 3.2 pounds
of ice per 24 hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the
refrigerator ice bin will hold around 5
pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model,
the refrigerator ice bin will hold around
3.7 pounds of ice.
