IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it
can work as soon as you install your refrigerator.
If you cannot connect a water supply, set the
ice maker’s On/Off icon to Off and turn off the
water supply valve; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill
valve may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the
ice maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently, it may be an indication of low
water pressure or the water filter needs to be
replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with particles,
less water is delivered to the ice maker during
each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six months
or longer since you last changed your water
filter, replace the water filter with a new one.
Poor quality household water may require the
filter to be changed more frequently.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice
dispenser. You will still be able to dispense water.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after three minutes
of continuous use. To reset this shutoff
device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal bale arm that automatically stops
ice production when the ice bin is full. This
signal arm should not be used to manually
stop the ice maker.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between
30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may
cause water filter to malfunction.
Priming the water supply system
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
2 Keep the glass
in this position
until water
comes out of
the dispenser. It
may take about
1½ minutes.
3 Continue
dispensing
water for about
four minutes to
flush the system and plumbing connections
of any impurities (stopping to empty the
glass as necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and
has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can
produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will
fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense
some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This
will allow the bin to fill completely.
Turning the fresh food ice maker
on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off icon on the control panel. Press and
hold the “Ice Off” icon for three seconds to
turn the ice maker “ON” or “OFF”. The ice
maker is turned off when the LED above the
“Ice Off” icon is illuminated.
Using the ice maker after
installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three empty
ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system
is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor.
NOTE
Dispensed water is chilled. For colder water, add
ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
