AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The icemaker will produce 70–182 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 off 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
on models without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi on models with a water filter to produce the
normal amount and size of ice cubes.
• Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor
can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor
area is clean at all times for proper operation.
