Automatic Icemaker; Icemaker Accessory Kit - GE TBG24JABGRWW Manual Del Usuario

Your icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle—approximately
100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on frozen food storage
compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door
openings and other use conditions.
If your refrigerator is
operated before the water
connection is made to the
icemaker, keep the feeler arm
in the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator is first
installed, allow about 24 hours
for the frozen food storage
compartment to cool down to
icemaking temperatures.
Throw away the first few batches of ice.
This flushes away impurities in the water line.
When the refrigerator has
been connected to the water
supply, move the feeler arm
to the ON (down) position.
Water Supply Kit
A kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and
instructions needed to connect the icemaker to your cold water
line is available at extra cost. Contact your local distributor and
order the appropriate kit depending on how much copper tubing
you need. See Preparation section.

Icemaking will continue until the feeler arm senses a sufficient
accumulation of ice cubes in the storage bin and halts the operation
temporarily. For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with
your hand occasionally. Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of
the feeler arm.
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight and it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together.
Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP (up) position when:
• home water supply is to be 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.
Ice
• turning the fresh food control to "0."
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy
and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash
it in lukewarm water. Be sure to allow the storage bin to dry before
replacing it—otherwise ice cubes may stick to other parts of
the icemaker.
If this is your first icemaker, you'll hear occasional sounds that may
be unfamiliar. They are normal icemaking sounds and are not a cause
for concern.
