A newly installed refrigerator may take up to
24 hours to begin making ice.
HOW THE ICEMAKER WORKS
The icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle--
approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period--
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other use conditions.
If you use your refrigerator before the water connection
is made, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is in the
STOP (up) position,, When the water supply has been
connected to the icemaker, move the feeler arm to ON
(down) position

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing,,
NOTE: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow about 24
hours for the freezer compartment to get cold enough to
make ice.
Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes (16 or 24
cubes), This will flush away any impurities in the water
line. Do the same thing after vacations or extended
periods when ice isn't use&
To make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes
occasionally. When cubes fall into the bin they may pile
up close to the icemaker and push the feeler arm to the
STOP (up) position before the bin gets full, Keeping the
cubes level allows the icemaker to fill the bin.
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of 8, and it is
normal for several cubes to be joined together.
MOVE FEELER ARM TO STOP (UP)
POSITION WHEN:
• Home water supply is to be turned off for several
hours,,
• Ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time.,
° Going away on vacation, at which time you should
also turn off the valve in the water supply line to your
refrigerator,
o Moving the freezer control to the OFF position,,
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST ICEMAKER...
You'll hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar.
These are normal icemaking sounds and are not cause
for concern.
IF ICE IS NOT USED OFTEN...
"Old" ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale.
Empty ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water, Be sure to allow storage bin to
cool before replacing it--otherwise ice cubes
may stick to other parts of the icemaker,
