Ice maker
Ice making information
The first two batches of ice may contain small or irregular cubes, due to air in the supply line.
After cubes are made, it is normal for a few cubes to be joined together. They can easily be
broken apart.
If the ice is not used frequently the cubes may become cloudy, small, stick together, and
taste stale. Empty and wash the bin in lukewarm water periodically. Dry it thoroughly before
replacing it.
The ice maker may make a few sounds during its operation. Clicking, rattling, and buzzing are
all normal.
Do not store anything in the ice bin except ice made in the ice maker.
WARNING!
Mechanical Hazard
Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible
injury. It will also prevent interference with moving parts of the ejector
mechanism and the heating element that releases the cubes.
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually
appearing with a green-bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration
can be a combination of factors such as certain characteristics of local
waters, household plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in
an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice maker. Continued
consumption of such discolored ice cubes may be injurious to health. If
such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your
dealer to purchase and install a water line filter.
Water damage due to improper water connection may cause mold/mildew
growth.
Clean up ice and water spills to avoid personal injury and to prevent mold/
mildew growth.
Failure to do so can result in death or injury to persons.
