Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per
cycle—approximately 100 cubes 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,
keep the feeler arm in the STOP (up)
position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, move the feeler arm to
the ON (down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to freezing. A newly-installed
refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to
begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of
the feeler arm.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy and taste stale.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not already come
equipped with an automatic icemaker,
an icemaker accessory kit is available at
extra cost.
