Important facts about your

ice and water dispenser

Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense
well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice
can jam the chute or cause the door in
the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking
the chute, poke it through with a wooden
spoon.

Automatic Icemaker

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24
hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per
cycle—approximately 15 cycles or more in
a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch to O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
I (on). The green light will come on.
Throw away the first full bucket of ice.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage bin may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected Cubed Ice.
This happens occasionally when a few
cubes accidentally get directed to the
crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip from the chute.
The first glass of water dispensed may
be warmer than the following ones.
This is normal.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
After the icemaker has been turned on
again, there will be a delay of about 45
minutes before the icemaker resumes
operations.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average
water pressure, you may hear the icemaker
water valve cycle on several times when
making one batch of ice. Recommended
water pressure is 60 psi.
