About the automatic icemaker.

Automatic Icemaker
(on some models)
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
See below for how to access ice and reach
the power switch
.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the
O (off)
position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the
l (on)
position. The icemaker power
light will turn green when the freezer light
switch is pressed in or when the freezer
door is closed.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed
refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to
begin making ice cubes.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing
ice. It is normal for several cubes to be
joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
NOTE:
In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
NOTE:
Set the power switch to the
O (off)
position
if the water supply is shut off.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already
equipped with an automatic icemaker,
an icemaker accessory kit is available at
extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for
the specific icemaker kit needed for
your model.
To Use the Dispenser
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To
reduce water spotting, the shelf should be
cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser arm for at least two minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. To flush out impurities in the water
line, throw away the first six glassfuls of water.
Locking the Dispenser
Press the
LOCK
pad for 3 seconds to lock
the dispenser and control panel. To unlock,
press and hold the pad again for 3 seconds.
Door Alarm
To set the alarm, press the
DOOR ALARM
pad. The indicator light will illuminate.
This alarm will sound if either door is
open for more than 2 minutes. The
beeping stops when you close the door.
