OPERATING YOUR ICEMAKER
How the Icemaker Works
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate.
As the water freezes into ice, the minerals in the
water are rejected. This produces a sheet of ice with
a low mineral content.
NOTE: The icemaker is designed to make clear ice
from the majority of water sources on a daily basis.
If your results are unsatisfactory, water may need to
be filtered or treated. See Filtering and Treating
Water in the Care and Cleaning section.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet
is released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid
divides the sheet into individual cubes.
3. The water containing the rejected minerals is
drained after each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next
icemaking cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full,
the icemaker shuts off automatically and restarts
when more ice is needed.
Notes About This Icemaker
• Water enters only during the defrost cycle. Therefore
the first cycle will be completed without water in the
system.
• As the room and water temperatures vary, so will
the amount of ice produced. This means that higher
operating temperatures will result in reduced ice
production.
• The icemaker will shut off when ice in the storage
bin touches the bin thermostat well and will
automatically cycle to keep the bin full.
• The storage bin is not refrigerated and some meltage
will occur. This, too, varies with the room temperature.
• The icemaker needs good air circulation to
perform efficiently. Keep the front grille and
the condenser clean.
• The water system, including the filter screen in the
water inlet solenoid valve, needs to be cleaned
periodically for good circulation. Instructions are
located on the inner door panel.
