Automatic Ice Maker/Water 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 filter 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 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
two 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 start producing 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. Full
bin should be expected after 48 to 60
hours with no ice usage. Ice rate is 2.0 to
2.5 pounds per day. In a Standard Depth
model, the ice bin will hold about 6.5
pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model,
the ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of
ice. For extra capacity you can add an ice
maker kit for the freezer.
Dispenser Model
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 fresh food 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
seconds to turn the ice maker ON or OFF.
If there is no indicator, then the ice maker
is ON.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker stops ice
production only.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in 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 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.
