Automatic Ice Maker
The water inlet tubing assembly required to complete the water connectionto the water
valve is located in the crisperdrawer in a bag. Connectthe ice maker to the water supply as
instructed in the separate instructions, furnished with the refrigerator.
The automatic ice maker is designedto furnish a continualsupply of ice cubes. The amount
of ice produceddepends on the temperaturein the freezer section of your refrigerator. The
co}der the freezer section, the more ice is produced. We suggest you start with your
refrigeratorandfreezercontrolsattheirmidsettings. }nmostcases, thisis satisfactory. Ifthe
door to the refrigerator or freezer is opened frequently or temperatures in the kitchen are
abnormally high, a colder setting may be necessary.
After your model has been installed and the water supply connected to the ice maker,it may
take 8 to 12 hoursbeforethe ice maker furnishes any usable ice cubes. The first one or two
harvestswill probablycontain undersizedand irregularcubes becauseof air in thesupply line.
The initial harvestmay also contain impuritiesfrom the new water supply piping. Therefore,
all cubes from the first two or three harvests should be discarded.
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a
green-bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration is apparently a combination of
factors such as certain characteristicsof local waters, householdplumbing and the accumu-
lation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice maker. Continued '_.-
consumptionof such discolored ice cubes may be injuriousto health. If such discoloration
is observed, discard the (ce cubes and contact the dealer from whom the ice maker or
refrigerator was purchased.
Ice cubes that have been in the ice storage for a considerablelength of time may pick up off-
flavor taste, stick together, and gradually become smaller. We suggestthat these cubes be
thrown away. We also suggest using an open box of baking soda in the refrigeratorfor food
odor absorption.
Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker. Examplesare: (1) The
motor may have a slight hum, (2) the cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage bin,
and (3) the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally. All of these sounds are normaland
should be ignored.
Note- When dispensing ice cubes, it is importantthat you use only the ice supplied by this
ice maker. Ice from any other source could cause an ice jam. If this happens, remove and
discard all ice from the storage bin and any ice lodged in the ice chute.
