REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING
ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
NOTE:
The automatic Ice maker is only included in some
models. Check your specifications of your refrigerator.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Avoid contact with any moving parts of the ejector
mechanism or with the heater that releases the ice
cubes. DO NOT place your fingers in the automatic ice
maker when the refrigerator is plugged in.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After turning on your refrigerator, the ice will start to be
made between 12 and 24 hours.
Switch
Ice maker Sensor
The ice maker produces 12 cubes per cycle (in between
80 and 100 cubes in a 24 hour period), depending on
the temperature of the freezer, the times in which the
door opens, and other using conditions (amount of food
in the freezer, etc).
If the refrigerator is used before the connection of water
to the ice maker was performed, you must turn its dial
to
O
(off).
When the water connections are performed, turn its dial
to
I
(on).
The ice maker will fill up (and start making ice) between
12 and 24 hours after the refrigerator is turned on.
Throw away the first batch of ice. Make sure that nothing
interferes with the sensor.
When the ice reaches the sensor, the ice maker will stop
to make ice immediately.
It’s normal that some ice gets stuck. If the ice is not used
frequently, the older cubes of ice will be opaque in color,
smaller, and with a strange flavor.
YOU MUST TURN THE SWITCH TO O (OFF)
• When the water supply is interrupted for many hours.
• When the ice container is left out of its place for more
than one or two minutes.
• When the refrigerator will not be in use for various
days.
NORMAL SOUNDS
• The valve will emit a buzzing sound when the ice maker
is full of water. If the switch is placed in the off position
the buzz will still be heard even when the water pipe
has not been connected. To avoid this sound, move
switch to
O
(off) position.
NOTE:
The ice maker can get damaged if the switch is
kept in the ON position before the water pipe has been
connected.
• While the ice maker is filling up with water and
producing ice, you will hear the sound of the ice falling
and water flowing through the pipes.
PREPARING FOR VACATIONS
Move the ice maker switch to the
O
(off) position and cut
the flow of water going into the refrigerator.
If room temperature is at freezing point, have a
specialized technician drain the flow of water from the
inner pipes (certain models) to avoid broken pipe related
damage.

To purchase Ice Maker Kit LK50C, contact your
dealer.
