Automatic ice maker
IMPORTANT: The ice maker is shipped from the
factory with the wire arm in the OFF position (up). It is
recommended that the ice maker be left in the OFF
position for the first 24 hours after your refrigerator is
turned on. This will allow the freezer compartment and
the ice maker to reach the proper temperature before
making ice.
To start ice maker:
• Push ice maker wire arm down to the “ON” position.
The ice maker fills with water and begins forming ice.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Ice
maker should then produce 7 to 9 batches of ice in a
24-hour period under normal conditions.
Discard the first three batches of ice.
After ice is formed, ice cubes drop into storage bin. When
ice bin is full, ice maker arm raises to the “OFF” position
(arm up).

This is normal. They break apart easily. Shake bin occasionally to keep
cubes separated.
ON/OFF wire arm is in the “OFF” (up) position. Lower wire arm to
the “ON” (down) position.
Freezer is not cold enough. Adjust temperature controls and wait
24 hours. (See “Setting temperature controls” on page 6.)
Copper tubing is kinked. Check water tubing.
New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.
Discard the first few batches of ice.
Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a new supply.
Food is not wrapped properly. See page 18.
Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. See page 15.
Water may contain minerals (such as sulfur). A filter may be required
to remove them.
