Automatic Ice Maker Tips
Remember that water quality determines your ice quality.
Do not connect
the ice maker to water that is softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning
softener can damage the ice maker.
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the
up or OFF position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the
shelf so the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the ice container is full.
Ice Maker Tips
Ice stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container and be sure the wire signal arm is in its
down or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.
Occasionally shake the container to keep ice separated.
Keep the wire signal arm in its up or OFF position until the refrigerator 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
DO NOT
place the ice container in your dishwasher.
Wash ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.
Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or for short vacations.
If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
