Starting The Ice Maker - Whirlpool ECKMF94 - Automatic Ice Maker Installation Manual

Starting the Ice Maker
1. Wash out the ice bucket, and then slide it
under the ice maker (see the side diagram)
as far as it will go. The ice bucket will be
sitting on top of the freezer shelf.
Installing the ice bucket
IMPORTANT: On top-mount models without a
full-width freezer shelf, you will need to place
the ice bucket on top of the inverted ice tray
shelf. First, position the ice tray shelf face
down so that the shorter side is alongside the
freezer wall (see DETAIL A). Then insert the
tabs on the shorter side of the shelf into the
slots on the edge of the freezer floor. This will
hold the shelf in position. Next, place the ice
bucket on top of the inverted ice tray shelf and
slide it under the ice maker (see side dia-
gram). The ice maker will not function properly
if the ice bucket is placed directly on the
freezer floor.
2. Place the items back into the freezer
compartment.
3. Lower the arm on the ice maker (see the
side diagram) to its 'on" position, and close
the freezer door. The ice maker will begin to
make ice within 24 hours.

NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24
hours for the ice maker to begin producing
ice. Once ice is available, you may notice that
it has an 'off taste." If this happens, make two
or three batches of ice and discard them.
After that, the "off-taste" should be gone. If
you have any problems, refer to 'Trouble-
shooting" on page 25.
This completes the installation of your Ice
Maker.
