Automatic Ice Maker - Freezer
Operation & Care of the Freezer
Ice Maker (select models)
After the refrigerator is installed properly,
the ice maker can produce ice within 24
hours. It can completely fill the ice bin in
about three days.
When using the ice maker for the first
time and in order for the ice maker to
work properly, it is necessary to clear air
from water filter tubing. Once ice maker
begins making ice, allow the bucket to fill
completely, then discard the first TWO
FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least
two days to completely fill the bucket on
regular ice making mode or 1½ days on
fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately
four pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions.
Turning the Ice Maker On and Off
Ice production is controlled by lifting/
lowering the ice maker’s wire signal arm.
To gain access to the ice maker, pull the
freezer drawer out. Lift the wire signal
arm to turn the ice maker OFF and lower
the wire signal arm to turn it ON.

make a loud chattering noise when it
