USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
25
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The icemaker will produce 70-182 cubes in
a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door openings
and other operating conditions.
v
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice.
v
Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full.
When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to
8 (12-16 oz or 340-455 cc) glasses of ice.
v
Foreign substances or frost on the auto shuto
ç
(feeler
arm) can interrupt ice production. Make sure the feeler
arm is clean at all times for proper operation.
v
To increase ice production, use the Accela Ice function.
This function increases both ice making and freezing
capabilities.

CAUTION
v
The
o
rst ice and water dispensed may include particles
or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
v
Throw away the
o
rst few batches of ice. This is also
necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a
long time.
v
Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice
bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may
damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
v
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water
o
lter and
water supply. If the problem continues, contact a Sears
or other quali
o
ed service center. Do not use the ice or
water until the problem is corrected.
v
Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may
play with or damage the controls.
v
The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only
crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates
by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with
a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help
prevent frost buildup.
v
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass
fragments in the ice.
v
Dispense ice into a glass before
o
lling it with water
or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is
dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
v
Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or
deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator
performance may be a
ç
ected.
v
Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice
from dispensing.
v
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door
and passage.
v
Never remove the dispenser cover.
v
If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn o
ç
the
water supply and contact Sears Home Service at
1-844-553-6667.
