USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to
the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per
cycle - approximately 120-140 cubes in a 24-hour
period, depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and other
operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to occur.
• Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When
full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-
16 oz) glasses of ice.
• To turn o
ff
the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to
OFF (O)
. To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to
ON (I)
.
• The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi (138 to 827 kPa) on models without a water
fi
lter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a
water
fi
lter to produce the normal amount and size of
ice cubes.
• The ice cube size selector button is used to compensate
for high or low water pressure. If you have low water
pressure coming to your refrigerator, you may need
to select the highest setting. For high water pressure,
select a lower setting.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or the heating element that releases
the cubes.DO NOT place
