IMPORTANT
The ice maker is shipped in the
On
posi-
tion. To ensure proper function for your
ice maker, hook up the water supply
immediately or turn the ice maker
Off
. If
the ice maker is on and the water supply
is not connected, the water valve will
make a loud chattering noise.
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT
TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2 to 2.5
pounds of ice every 24 hours depending
on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a
rate of 10 cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in
your dishwasher.
ICE MAKER
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, it will produce minimal ice during
the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new
plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to
cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray
of ice. With no usage, it will take approxi-
mately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause
the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard
ice made during the first 24 hours.
Turning your Ice Maker On
After completely connecting the
plumbing, you must open the water
supply valve. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back
as possible. Press the ice maker’s On/Off
button.
Turning your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, press the ice mak-
er’s On/Off button. The ice maker regu-
lates the ice production and stops making
ice when full and starts again when ice is
low in the ice container.
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional acces-
sories that you may install in most models
at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for infor-
mation about Ice Maker Kit 117000.
NOTE
Set the freezer to a colder setting to in-
crease the output of the ice maker. Allow
24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.
