About The Automatic Icemaker - GE Profile 200D8074P009 Owner's Manual

About the automatic icemaker.

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
On dispenser models,
to access ice or reach
the power switch:
Lift the bin, then pull it
forward until the bin stops.
Lower the bin to access ice
or reach the power switch.
NOTE: In order to take full advantage
of the tilt-out ice bin, only store items
on the shelf below the ice bin that
are no taller than the lowest point
on the bin.
Lift the bin, then pull it
forward until the bin stops.
Lift and pull forward again
to remove the bin.

Automatic Icemaker
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.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the O (off) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the l (on) position.
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.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
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.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
Removing Ice Bin
(dispenser models)
CAUTION: The ice bin is heavy when full.
Set the power switch to the O (off) position
before removing the bin.
When replacing the bin, be sure to press it
firmly into place. If it does not go all the
way back, remove it and rotate the drive
mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the bin
back again.
Special note about dispenser models:
■
Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out as shown in the
illustrations, and it will hold itself up
while you take ice out or turn the
icemaker power switch on and off. Be
sure to put the bin back in place before
closing the door.
■
To restore your ice level from an empty
bucket stage, the following steps are
recommended:
12 hours after the first batch of ice
has fallen into the bin, dispense
3 to 4 cubes.
After an additional 6 hours, dispense
3 to 4 cubes again.
These steps will restore your ice level
in the shortest amount of time.
