AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER 

DISPENSER 

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. 

Priming the water supply system 

 CAUTION 

For  proper  dispenser  operation,  recommended 

water  supply  pressure  should  fall  between 

206kPa and 689kPa (30PSI and 100PSI). 

Excessive  pressure  may  cause  the  system  to 

malfunction. 

1.

Begin filling the system by pressing and holding

a drinking glass against the dispenser.

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  four

minutes  to  flush  the  system  and  plumbing

connections  of  any  impurities  (stopping  to

empty the glass as necessary).

 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 feature to Off; otherwise,  the  ice 

maker’s  fill  valve  may  make  a  loud  chattering 

noise when it attempts to operate without water. 

Ice  production  is  controlled  by  the  ice  maker’s 

On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing the 

On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off. 

Note:  The  ice  maker

 

also  has  a  built-in 

plastic  signal  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  simply  disables  ice 

making. You will still be able to dispense existing 

ice, and you will still be able to dispense water. 
On  occasion,  unusually  small  ice  cubes  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  that 

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  has  been  six  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. 

I

ce maker operation & care 

After the refrigerator is installed properly and has 

cooled  for  several  hours,  the  ice  maker  can 

produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill 

the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some 

ice  to  force  the  ice  forward  in  the  bin.  This  will 

allow the bin to fill completely. 

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity 

This ice maker should produce 1 kg of ice  per  24 

hours.  The  ice  bin  will  hold  about  1.8 kg of ice. 

Turning the ice maker on and off 

 WARNING

Dispenser

Note:  The  water  dispenser  has  a  built-in device 

that  shuts  off  the  water  flow  after three  minutes 

of  continuous  use.  To  reset this  shut-off device, 

simply  release  the dispenser paddle. 
Only  the  first  750

 

ml

 

of

 

dispensed

    

water is 

chilled. 

Flushing  system  about  2  minutes  after  period  of 

non-use exceeding 30 days
