keys and hold all three (3) keys for 4 seconds. This will activate the
icemaker. Note: if the bins are removed to observe the icemaker operation, the icemaker will start to rotate.
However, if the bin lever device is in a down position the icemaker will not rotate. The lever-lock needs to be
either removed or pushed backwards for the icemaker to complete a full rotation.
NOTE:
A forced harvest will operate without the product being down to temperature. If the harvest does not
work the sensor may be not connected or open circuit. The Icemaker sensor must be in circuit for a forced
harvest to work.
3.5
Ice Bin Full Sequence
When the ice bin is full the icemaker starts a sequence of testing to ensure ice harvest can continue. If the
icemaker senses the bin is full the motor resumes its normal position, 20 minutes later the testing sequence
commences until such time as the ice level is reduced by usage. The testing sequence happens every 20
minutes.
Bin in position
Bin lever – senses if there
is a bin in position or not.
If there is no bin, lever will
be in the down position as
shown.
Bin full of Ice
Lever sensing if ice bin is
full.
If bin is not full icemaker
continues rotation to eject
ice.
3.6 Safety
First
•
When first placed into operation, discard the first bin of ice as this will remove any impurities that may have
been in the water system.
•
Do the same after vacations or extended periods when ice is not used.
•
Ice cubes, when not used, will become cloudy, will shrink, and will taste stale. The ice bin will need to be
emptied and cleaned periodically.
•
Avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism.
•
Do not place fingers on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is turned on.
