Automatic Ice & Water Dispenser - Frigidaire 242134903 Use & Care Manual

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Priming the water supply system
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water
supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100
psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
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 1½
minutes.
3 Continue dispensing
water for about four
(4) 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 (3) minutes of continuous
use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.

NOTE
Dispensed water is chilled. For colder water, add ice to
cup or container before dispensing water.
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 fill completely.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work
as soon as you install your refrigerator. 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 (3) 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.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will result in existing ice
melting in the bin.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice dispenser.
You will still be able to dispense water.

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 installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime
the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can
result in two (2) or three (3) 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 (6) 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.
