Automatic Ice Maker

If 

your 

refrigerator 

has 

an 

automatic 

ice 

maker, 

it 

will 

provide 

continuous 

supply

of 

ice 

for 

normal 

use. 

The 

automatic 

ice 

maker 

is 

an 

optional 

accessory 

which 

may

be 

installed 

in 

most 

models 

at 

any 

time. 

Call 

your 

local 

dealer 

for 

installation.

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. 

Because 

of 

new

plumbing 

connections, 

the 

first 

production 

of 

ice 

cubes 

may 

be 

discolored 

or 

have

an 

odd 

flavor. 

 

Throw 

the 

ice 

away 

until 

the 

cubes 

made 

are 

free 

of 

discoloration

and 

taste.

Remember, 

water 

quality 

determines 

your 

ice 

quality. 

 

It 

is

best 

to 

connect 

ice 

maker 

to 

water 

that 

is 

NOT 

soft. 

 

Softening 

chemicals 

can 

damage

ice 

maker. 

 

If 

ice 

maker 

is 

connected 

to 

soft 

water, 

ensure 

softener 

is 

maintained, 

and

working 

properly.

To 

stop 

the 

ice 

maker, 

lift 

the 

wire 

signal 

arm 

until 

it 

clicks 

and 

locks 

in 

the 

"up"

or 

OFF 

position. 

The 

ice 

maker 

turns 

off 

automatically 

when 

the 

ice 

container 

is 

full.

If 

your 

model 

has 

an 

adjustable 

freezer 

shelf, 

place 

the 

shelf 

so 

the 

wire 

signal 

arm

will 

hit 

the 

ice 

when 

the 

ice 

container 

is 

full.

Ice Maker Tips

1. Ice 

stored 

too 

long 

may 

develop 

an 

odd 

flavor. 

 

Empty 

the 

container 

and 

be 

sure

the 

wire 

signal 

arm 

is 

in 

its 

"down" 

or 

ON 

position. 

The 

ice 

maker 

will 

then

produce 

more 

ice.

2. Occasionally 

shake 

the 

container 

to 

keep 

ice 

separated.

3. Keep 

the 

wire 

signal 

arm 

in 

its 

"up" 

or 

OFF 

position 

until 

the 

refrigerator

is 

connected 

to 

the 

water 

supply 

or 

whenever 

water 

supply 

is 

turned 

off.

4. Certain sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating. They are:

Motor 

operation

Ice 

being 

loosened 

from 

the 

tray

Ice 

being 

dropped 

into 

the 

container

Running 

water

Water 

valve 

opening 

and 

closing

For 

more 

information 

on 

these 

operations, 

see 

"Normal 

Operating 

Sounds."

5. Wash 

ice 

container 

in 

warm 

water 

with 

mild 

detergent. 

Rinse 

well 

and 

dry.

6. Stop 

the 

ice 

maker 

when 

cleaning 

the 

freezer 

or 

for 

short 

vacations.

7. If 

the 

ice 

maker 

will 

be 

turned 

off 

for 

long 

period 

of 

time, 

turn 

the 

water 

supply

valve 

to 

the 

closed 

position.
