Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
Priming the water supply  
system
Your refrigerator’s water supply system 
includes several tubing lines, an advanced 
water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a 
reserve tank to ensure ample supply to the ice 
and water dispenser at all times. This system 
needs to be completely filled with water when 
first connected to an external supply line.
To prime the water supply system:
  1  Begin filling the tank by pressing and 
holding a drinking glass against the 
water dispenser paddle.
  2  Keep the glass in this position until water 
comes out of the dispenser. 
It may take 
about 1½ minutes.
  3  Continue dispensing water for about 
three minutes to flush the system and 
plumbing connections of any impurities 
(stopping to empty the glass as 
necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding 
mechanism are located in the top of the 
freezer compartment. 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 two days.
The ice maker produces four to six pounds 
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage 
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of eight 
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
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 or three 
empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the 
system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may 
be discolored or have an odd flavor.

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, turn the ice maker’s 
On/Off switch 
to Off. 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 wire 
signal arm, which automatically stops ice 
production when the ice bin is full. This 
signal arm should not be used to manually 
stop the ice maker.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device 
that shuts off the water flow after three 
minutes of continuous use. To reset this 
shutoff device, simply release the dispenser 
paddle.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s  
On/Off power switch. To gain access to 
the ice maker, pull the extra shelf out (some 
models). Press the switch to the “
O” position 
to turn it Off and press to the “
I” position to 
turn it On.
