Operating
Instructions
. Confirm ice bin is in place and sensor arm is down.
After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2 ° F
(-18 ° to -17 ° C}, ice maker fills with water and begins
operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice
approximately
every three hour&
Allow approximately
2/4 hours after
installation
to receive first harvest of
ice.
Discard ice created within first 12
hours of operation to assure system is fhshed
of
impurities.
, Stop ice production
by raising sensor arm until dick
is heard.
, Ice maker will remain in the off position until arm is
pushed down.
. The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized
and irregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
, When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together
at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the sensor arm, shutting
the ice maker off.
, Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage
pan and the water valve may click or "buzz"
occasionally.
, If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together
and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically
and wash it in
lukewarm
water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing
it.
, Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block
the sensor arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
. Turn off (arm up} the ice maker when the water
supply is to be shut off for several hours.
To Remove
the Uce Bin:
, Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping
ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.
To Unstall the Uce Bin:
, Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on
by lowering the sensor arm.
To avoid
personam injury or property
damage,
observe
the following:
, Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic
ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator
is
plugged in. This will help protect you from possible
injury. It will also prevent interference
with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism
and the heating
element that releases the cubes.
, Under certain rare circumstances,
ice cubes may
be discolored,
usually appearing
with a green-
bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration
can be a combination
of factors such as certain
characteristics
of local waters, household
phmbing
and the accumulation
of copper salts in
an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice
maker. Continued
consumption
of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
discoloration
is observed, discard the ice cubes
and contact your dealer to purchase and install a
water line filter.
. Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew
growth.
. Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew
growth.
