Automatic Icemaker (onsomemodels)
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle--approximately 100-130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on
freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door
openings and other use conditions.
K the refiigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemakm;
set the power swiwh to 0 (Off).
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
I (on). Do not open the door/drawer fbr
approximately 4 hours. This will allow the
freezer to reach the correct operating
temperature for making ice, and will
prevent water from spilling out of the
icemaker mold.
Special Note about the Green Power Light
Even when the icemaker power switch is in
the I (on)position, power to the icemaker
will be interrupted when the freezer
door/drawer is open. This prevents ice
ejecting from the icemaker from missing
the ice bucket and dropping into the back
of the freezm: Because power to the
icemaker is interrupted while the
door/drawer is open, the green power light
on the icemaker will be off To make sure
the icemaker is working properly, press the
freezer light switch located on the upper
right side of the freezer compartment. Tim
power light on the icemaker will come on.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°F (-10°C). A newly-installed
refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to
begin making ice cubes.
