USING YOUR
ICE MAKER
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar
to you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can
make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The
following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new
to you and what may be making them.
• You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve
opens to fill the water reservoir for each cycle.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the
refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the
ice maker can also make noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating
or high pitched sound.
Water running over the evaporator plate may make a
splashing sound.
Water running from the evaporator plate to the water
reservoir may make a splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound
due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by
the condenser fan.
During the harvest cycle, you may hear a "thud" when
the ice sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter
grid.
When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water
running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to
run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
1. To start ice production, select ON. Allow 24 hours to
produce the first batch of ice, and discard the first three
batches of ice produced.
To start the normal ice making cycle, select ON.
Press the NORM ICE switch. Normal ice production
should produce approximately 25 Ibs. of ice in a 24-
hour period.
To start the maximum ice production cycle, select
ON. Press the TWICE ICE switch. The ice maker will
then produce approximately 50 Ibs. of ice in a 24-
hour period. This cycle should be selected when
you have an upcoming need for a lot of clear, clean
ice and the ice bin is low to empty.
2. To stop ice maker operation, select OFF.
