If your freezer has an automatic icemaker, it will
provide a suffi cient supply of ice for normal use.
During the initial startup of your freezer, however,
no ice will be produced during the fi rst 24 hours of
operation. Automatic ice makers are also optional
accessories that may be installed in some models at
any time. Call your local dealer for information.
Turning Your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been completed,
the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice
container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back
as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or
ON position. New plumbing connections may cause
the fi rst production of ice cubes to be discolored or
have an odd fl avor. These fi rst cubes should be
discarded until the cubes produced are free of
discoloration and taste.
Turning Your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until
it clicks and locks in the “up” or OFF position. The
ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model has an adjustable
freezer shelf, place the shelf in the lower position,
so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the
container is full.
Ice Maker Tips
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period
of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed
position.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd
fl avor. Empty the ice container and ensure that
the wire signal arm is in its “down” or ON position.
The ice maker will then produce more ice.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
• Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF
position until the freezer is connected to the water
supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice
maker is operating:
• Motor running
• Ice loosening from tray
• Ice dropping into ice container
• Running water
• Water valve opening or closing

Leveling Bracket
Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal arm in
the ON position. To ensure proper function of your
ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn
ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it
clicks and locks in the UP position.
Check the leveling bracket on the ice maker to ensure
the ice maker is level. If the gap between the freezer
wall and the ice maker is the same at top and bottom,
then ice maker is level. If the ice maker is not level,
loosen the screw and slide the bracket to the correct
position to make it level. Retighten the screw. You
will need a 1/4 inch socket wrench for this task.
• DO NOT place the ice container in dishwasher.
• Wash the ice container in warm water with mild
detergent. Rinse well and dry.
• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer
and during vacations.
