ICE MAKER
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in de-
vice that shuts off the water flow after
2 minutes of continuous use. To reset
this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
CAUTION
We recommend a water supply
pressure between 30 psi and 100 psi.
The system may malfunction with
excessive pressure.
Ice Maker Operation and Care
After you have properly installed the
refrigerator and it has cooled for several
hours, the ice maker produces ice within
24 hours. The ice maker fills the ice bin
from the rear. Dispense some ice to force
the ice forward in the bin. This allows the
bin to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
The ice maker should produce 3.2 to 3.7
lbs of ice per 24 hours, depending on the
usage conditions. The fresh food ice bin
holds about 4 lbs of ice.
Turning the Fresh Food Ice
Maker On and Off
NOTE
After the initial 26 ounces (750 ml), the
water remains room temperature until
the tank refills and has enough time
to chill the next 26 ounces (750 ml) of
water. It may take up to 8 hours to chill.
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 2 or 3
empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if you
do not flush the system, the first ice cubes
may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
Priming the Water Supply System
Dispenser
1. Begin filling the system by pressing
and holding a drinking glass against
the dispenser.
2. Keep the glass in this position until
water comes out of the dispenser. It
may take about 1
½
minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for
3-4 minutes (or after you have
dispensed 1
½
gallons) to flush the
system and plumbing connection of
any impurities, stopping to empty
the glass as necessary.
IMPORTANT
The ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install
the refrigerator. If you cannot connect
a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/
Off feature to
Off
; otherwise, the ice
maker’s fill valve may make a loud chat-
tering noise when it attempts to operate
without water.
Ice production is controlled by the ice
maker’s On/Off feature on the appliance
control display. Pressing the On/Off
feature turns the ice maker on and off.
