Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has
cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice
within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about
eight (8) hours.

above the icon will be illuminated.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work
as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot
connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off icon
to Off and turn off the water supply valve; otherwise, the
ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise
when it attempts to operate without water.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi
and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.

NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bale
arm that automatically stops ice production when the
ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will result in existing ice
melting in the bin.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice
dispenser. You will still be able to dispense water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small disc-shaped ice may be
noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could
occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start
seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication
of low water pressure or the water filter needs to
be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less
water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.
Remember, if it’s been six (6) months or longer since
you last changed your water filter, replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may
require the filter to be changed more frequently.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime
the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can
result in two (2) or three (3) empty ice maker cycles.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice
cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
