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.
To access the icemaker: Pull the shelf above
the ice drawer straight out. Always be sure
to replace the shelf.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the
power switch in the O position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the l position.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker fills with water.
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.
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.
Ice Storage Drawer
To access ice, pull the drawer forward.
To remove the drawer, pull it straight out and
lift it past the stop location.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, the green
power light will blink. To correct this, set the
power switch to O and remove the cubes. Set
the power switch to I to restart the icemaker.
After the icemaker has been turned on again,
there will be a delay of about 45 minutes before
the icemaker resumes operation.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times
when making one batch of ice.
WARNING:
Connect to potable water
supply only. Installation of the icemaker must be
done by a qualified service technician.
