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 be discolored or
have an odd flavor.

recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause the

NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in de-
vice that shuts off the water flow after
two minutes of continuous use. To reset
this shutoff device, simply release the


NOTE
After the initial 26 ounces (750 ml),
water will remain room temperature
until the tank has refilled and been
given enough time to chill the next 26
ounces (750 ml) of water. May take up
to 8 hours to chill.
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. 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
This ice maker should produce 3.2 to 3.7
pounds of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin
will hold about 4 pounds of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and off
IMPORTANT
The ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can work as soon as the
refrigerator is installed. If it is not pos-
sible to connect a water supply, set the
ice maker's On/Off feature to Off either
by using the display or by pressing
the switch (features vary by model).
Otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may
make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
Press and hold Ice Maker on the external
appliance control display for 3 seconds to
turn ice production on and off.
