If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, 

it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for

normal use. During the initial startup of your 

refrigerator, no ice will be produced during the 

first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing

lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or 

three times before making a full tray of ice. 

With no usage, it will take approximately one 

to two days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first

production of ice cubes to be discolored or 

have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during

the first 24 hours.

After the plumbing connections have been 

completed, the water supply valve must be 

opened. Place the ice container under the 

ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. 

Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON 

position.

To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal 

arm until it clicks and locks in the “up” or 

OFF position. The ice maker also turns off 

automatically when the ice container is full. 

If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, 

place the shelf in the lower position, so that 

the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the 

container is full.

The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 3 pounds 

of ice every 24 hours depending on usage 

conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes 

every 75 to 160 minutes. 



Automatic ice makers are also optional 

accessories that may be installed in most 

models at any time. Call your local dealer for 

information.

Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener 

can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker 

is connected to soft water, ensure that the 

softener is maintained and working properly. 

Your ice maker is shipped from the factory 

with the wire signal arm in the ON position. 

To ensure proper function of your ice maker, 

hook up water supply immediately or turn 

ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm 

until it clicks and locks in the UP position. 

DO NOT place the ice container in your 

dishwasher.
