Icemaker - GE TFXA27f Use And Care Manual

Before Using Your Icemaker and Dispenser
If you use your refrigerator before the water
connection is made, raise the ice access door and
make sure the icemaker feeler arm is in the STOP (up)
position as shown below.
Once Your Icemaker and Dispemer Are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes
(16 or 24 cubes). This will flush away any impurities
in the
water line. Do the same thing after vacations or
extended periods when ice isn't used.
Discard
the first six glassfuls of water in the
kitchen sink. This will eliminate the slight "plastic"
taste temporarily imparted to the water by the water
reservoir.
Keep ice to keep icemaker productive. Cubes
ejected into an empty storage bin will pile up close to
the icemaker and push the feeler arm up to the STOP
position prematurely when the bin is only partially
full. Open the ice access door, reach in, level the cubes
by
hand and icemaking will resume. Keeping cubes
distributed evenly will allow the icemaker to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its maximum capacity.

When water supply has been connected to icemaker,
move feeler arm to ON (down) position.
