Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)
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.
See below for how to access ice and reach the
power switch.
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 power light will
turn green when the freezer light switch is
pressed in or when the freezer door is closed.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to –10°C. A newly installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Accessing Ice and Reaching
the Power Switch
To reach the icemaker power switch, pull the
shelf above the ice bin straight out. Always be
sure to replace the shelf.
To access ice, simply pull the bin forward.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already
equipped with an automatic icemaker, an
icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost.
To Use the Dispenser
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce
water spotting, the shelf should be cleaned
regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser arm for at least two minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. To flush out impurities in the water line,
throw away the first six glassfuls of water.
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.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times
when making one batch of ice.
NOTE: Set the power switch to the O (off) position if
the water supply is shut off.
