Ice Service

Automatic Icemaker

(on models so equipped)

Your icemaker will produce eight
cubes per 

1.4 kg in a 24-hour period, depending

on freezer compartment temperature,

room temperature, number of door
openings and other use conditions.

If your refrigerator is operated
before water connection is made
to the icemaker, 

keep the

icemaker feeler arm in the OFF
(up) position as shown below.

Ice 

 Bin

When refrigerator has been
connected to water supply, 

move

the feeler arm to the ON (down)

Ice cube mold will automatically
fill with water after cooling to
freezing temperature, and first
cubes will normally freeze after
several hours. When cubes are
solidly frozen, they will be ejected
from the mold into the ice storage
bin by means of a sweeper arm.

Icemaking will continue until the
feeler arm senses a sufficient
accumulation of ice cubes in the
storage bin and halts the operation
temporarily. For maximum ice

storage, level the stored cubes with

your hand occasionally. Be sure
nothing interferes with the swing
of the feeler arm.
The icemaker ejects cubes in
groups of eight and it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together.

Once your icemaker is in
operation, throw away the first
few batches of ice cubes. This

will flush away any impurities in
the water line. Do the same thing
after vacations or extended periods
when ice isn’t used.

Move icemaker feeler arm to 

OFF (up) position when:

● 

home water supply is to be off for

several hours

● 

ice storage bin is to be removed

for a period of time

● 

going away on vacation, at which

time you should also turn off the
valve in the water supply line to
your refrigerator

If ice is used infrequently, old
cubes will become cloudy and
taste stale. Empty ice storage bin
periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water.

If this is your first icemaker,

you’ll hear occasional sounds that
may be unfamiliar. They are
normal icemaking sounds and are
not cause for concern,
