Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser - Electrolux ICON Designer E23BC68JSS Use And Care Manual

16 Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
Priming the water supply system
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi
and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.
1 Begin filling the tank 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 three
(3) 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 device that shuts
off the water flow after three (3) minutes of continuous
use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
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. It can completely fill an ice bin in about
eight (8) hours.
The ice maker will produce up to nine (9) pounds of ice
every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work
as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot
connect a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off icon
to Off and turn off the water supply valve; otherwise, the
ice maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise
when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off
icon on the control panel. Press and hold the "Ice Off"
icon for three (3) seconds to turn the ice maker "ON" or
"OFF". When the ice maker is "OFF" the red LED above
the icon will be illuminated.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will result in existing ice
melting in the bin.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice
dispenser. You will still be able to dispense water.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bale
arm that automatically stops ice production when the
ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
Using the ice maker 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 (2) or three (3) empty ice maker cycles.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice
cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small disc-shaped ice may be
noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could
occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start
seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication
of low water pressure or the water filter needs to
be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less
water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.
Remember, if it's been six (6) months or longer since
you last changed your water filter, replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may
require the filter to be changed more frequently.
