(-10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice cubes.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water line
connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to
an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that
the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been
connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be
turned on. See the table below for details.

fills with water.
To fill the bucket to maximum capacity after installation,
dispense 3-4 cubes at 12 hours and 18 hours. Allow 2-3
days for the bucket to completely fill with ice.
Throw away the first few
batches of ice to allow
the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes
with the sweep of the
feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the
level of the feeler arm,
the ice maker will stop producing ice. It is normal for
several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
