HOW TO USE
The first ice and water dispensed may include particles
y
or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24
y
cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not
been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin
y
for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage
the icemaker or the containers may burst.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and
y
water supply. If the problem continues, contact a quali-
fied service center. Do not use the ice or water until the
problem is corrected.
Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may
y
play with or damage the controls.
The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only
y
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.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
y
Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass
fragments in the ice.
Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water
y
or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dis-
pensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep.
y
Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator perfor-
mance may be affected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
y
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice
from dispensing.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door
y
and passage.
Never remove the dispenser cover.
y
If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off the
y
water supply and contact a qualified service center.
When You Should Turn the Icemaker Off
When the water supply will be shut off for several
y
hours.
When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two
y
minutes.
When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
y
Normal Sounds You May Hear
The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
y
with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position,
it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to
water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to
OFF (O).
You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
y
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
Preparing For Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off the
water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a
qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured
water lines or connections.
Automatic Icemaker (continued)
CAUTION
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when the icemaker
on/off switch is turned to the
OFF
position.
NOTE
Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker
on/off switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.
