Freezer Ice Maker
Ice Maker Operation & Care
After the refrigerator is installed properly,
the ice maker can produce ice within
24 hours. When using the ice maker for
the first time, and in order for it to work
properly, it is necessary to clear air from the
water tubing and the filter. Furthermore, if
the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes
may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
Once the ice maker begins making ice,
allow the bin to fill completely, then discard
the first FULL bin of ice.
