Ice Maker
After the refrigerator
is installed
properly,
the ice maker
can produce
ice within
24
hours. It can completely
fill the ice bin in
about
three days.
When
using the ice maker
for the first
time and in order
for the ice maker
to
work properly,
it is necessary
to clear
air
from water
filter tubing.
Once
ice maker
begins
making
ice, allow the bucket
to fill
completely,
then discard
the first TWO
FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least
two days to completely
fill the bucket
on
regular
ice making
mode or 11/2 days on
fast ice mode.
The ice maker
produces
approximately
four pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending
on usage conditions.

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,
lift the ice
maker's wire signal arm to turn it off.
Otherwise,
the ice maker's
fill valve
may
make a loud chattering
noise when it
attempts
to operate
without
water.
