Automatic Ice Maker

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice

maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can

completely ﬁll an 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 1½ days on fast ice mode.

The ice maker produces approximately four

pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on

usage conditions.

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, 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.

Turning the ice maker on and off

Ice production is controlled by lifting/lowering

the ice maker’s wire signal arm. To gain access

to the ice maker, pull the freezer drawer out. Lift

the wire signal arm to turn the ice maker OFF

and lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.

Ice maker tips

• If your refrigerator is not connected to

a water supply or the water supply is

turned off, turn off the ice maker by lifting

wire signal arm.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular

intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1 Turn off the ice maker.

2 Remove the ice bin.

3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin

with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or

abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before

replacing in the freezer.

5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or

longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to

melt and freeze together.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the

cubes or clean as explained above.

CAUTION

If the water supply to your refrigerator is

softened, be sure the softener is properly

maintained. Chemicals from a water

softener can damage the ice maker.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp

instrument to break up the ice. This

could damage the ice bin.

To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.

Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it

is completely dry.

• The following sounds are normal when

the ice maker is operating:

- Motor running

- Ice dropping into ice bin

- Water valve opening or closing

- Running water

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop

an odd ﬂavor. Empty the ice bin as

explained below.
