Automatic Ice Maker
(select models)
Note:
Energy rating guides that are posted on the
refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include
optional ice maker energy usage.
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
•
Do not
place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged
in. This will help protect you from possible injury. It
will also prevent interference with moving parts of
the ejector mechanism and the heating element that
releases the cubes.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish
hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration can be
a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household plumbing
and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive
water supply line which feeds the ice maker.
Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes
may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is
observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your
dealer to purchase and install a water line filter.
• Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal injury
and to prevent mold/mildew growth.
WARNING
Some models are automatic ice maker ready. The number
of the appropriate ice maker kit is IC11B. The kit contains
installation instructions and water connection instructions.
Other models have a factory installed ice maker. Connect
the ice maker to the water supply as instructed on
pages 8-9.
Proper water flow and a level refrigerator
are essential for optimal ice maker performance.
Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is down.
• After freezer section reaches between 0°F (-18°C), ice
maker fills with water and begins operating. You will
have a complete harvest of ice approximately every
three hours.
• Allow approximately 24 hours after
installation to receive first harvest of
ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12
hours of operation to verify system is flushed of
impurities.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until click
is heard.
• Ice maker will remain in the OFF position until arm is
pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several
cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily
be broken apart. The ice maker will continue to make
ice until the supply of ice cubes raises the ice maker
arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage bin
and the water valve may click or “buzz” occasionally.
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing it.
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the
ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.
• Turn off the ice maker by raising the ice maker arm
when the water supply is to be shut off for several
hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on by
lowering the ice maker arm.
