Water fills the empty
cube mold when the
freezer has cooled
to freezing
temperature. Cold
air is forced directly
over the mold.
How the Ice Maker Works
When frozen, the
cubes are moved up
and out of the mold.
The sweeper arm (A)
ejects them into the
ice storage bin (B)
below.

How to Use Your Ice Maker
1
To start ice maker, lower feeler
arm to on position.
Make sure ice storage
bin is below ice maker
and pushed back as
far as possible.
2
Allow approximately 24 hours after
installation to receive first harvest of ice.
Discard ice created within first 12 hours of
operation to verify system is flushed of
impurities.
NOTE:
Feeler arm must be free to move upward and
outward over ice storage bin for ice production. Make
sure packages in freezer compartment do not block
its movement.
When is it appropriate to shut off my ice
maker?
Raise the feeler arm to the STOP (up) position when:
Ice storage bin is removed, or is being cleaned.
Refrigerator is not to be used for an extended time, such as
vacations. Also, turn off the water supply to the ice maker in
this instance.
Water supply is to be shut off for several hours.
My ice cubes have an odor. What can I
do to avoid this?
Ice is a porous material and is likely to absorb odors from
surrounding areas. Ice cubes that have been in the ice storage
bin for a considerable length of time may pick up off-flavor
tastes, stick together, and gradually become smaller. We
suggest that these cubes be thrown away.
Other ways to control ice cube odor are listed below.
The ice storage bin should be cleaned occasionally in warm
water. Be sure to put the icemaker feeler arm in the STOP (up)
position when cleaning the bin. Rinse and wipe dry.
Check for spoiled or expired items and discard. Wrap all
odor-causing foods, or store foods in tightly-sealed
containers to prevent odor reoccurance.
Water filter (some models) may need to be replaced.
In some cases, household water quality may need to be
checked. If a water filter is desired, a water filter may be
ordered for some models. Contact Amana Consumer Affairs
for more information on your particular model.
Is it possible for the ice maker to overfill
the storage bin ?
The feeler arm
(C)
senses when the
bin
(B)
is full and signals the icemaker
to stop ejecting cubes. The mold
refills and freezes a new supply.
Once the feeler arm senses that more
is needed, the ice maker resumes
operation by ejecting the frozen cubes.
