Automatic ice & Water Dispenser
Priming the Water Supply System
_ CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water
supply pressure should fall between 30 psl and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause wafer filter fo malfunction.
1. Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking
glass against the water
dispenser paddle.
2. Keep the glass in this
position until water comes
out of the dispenser.
It may take about 11/2
minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water
for about three minutes
to flush the system and
plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
NOTE
The water dispenser has a Built-in device that shuts off: the
water flow after three minutes of continuous use. To reset
this shutoff: device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
Ice Maker Operation & Care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for
several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must
dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will
allow the bin to flil completely.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as
soon as you install your refrigeraton If you cannot connect
a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off icon to Off:
and turn off: the water supply valve; otherwise, the ice
maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
Turning the Fresh Food Ice Maker On and Off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off icon
on the control panel. Press and hold the "Ice Off" icon for
three seconds to turn the ice maker "ON" or "OFF". The ice
maker is turned off: when the LED above the "Ice Off" icon is
illuminated.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bale arm
that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is
full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the
ice maker.
Using the Ice Maker after InstallaEon
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water
supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or
three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not
flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd
flavor.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in
the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal
operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure
or the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter
nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with
particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during
each cycle. Remember, if it's been six months or longer since
you last changed your water filter, replace the water filter
with a new one. Poor quality household water may require
the filter to be changed more frequently.
