This ice maker works automatically (automatic water supply, automatic production and detaching
of ice cubes), therefore there is no need to supply water manually. When the ice cube storage is
full, the sensor rod will automatically send a signal to the machine to stop making ice.
• Do not place your hand into the mechanical part of the ice maker (above the ice making tray).
Doing so may result in injury.
• To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the
refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.
• The ice maker kit should be installed only by an authorized service technician.
• Connect the ice maker to a drinkable water supply only.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• If the water supply is from a water softener, ensure that the softener is maintained and working
properly. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker.
Tips
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the
closed position.
• Switch off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or during short vacations.
• It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to start producing normal ice cubes. Air in new
plumbing lines may cause ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice.
New plumbing may cause ice to be discoloured or to have poor flavour during the first 24 hours.
Making Ice Cubes
• Make sure to disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical power supply before installing the
water supply pipes properly according to the installation manual. Once the water supply is
connected properly, connect the refrigerator to the electrical power supply.
• The ice maker is set to OFF by default. When needed, set it to ON according the instructional
diagram on the machine’s cover.
• The time needed to make ice will vary according to room temperature, water type, amount and
temperature of the water inside the ice making tray, as well as the machine’s status.
• The size of the ice cubes will vary according to the amount of water inside the ice storage box.
• The ice cubes will stick together or become smaller when storing for extended periods of time.
• Be careful not to injure your hand when breaking apart ice cubes that are stuck together.
