HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker (continued)
CAUTION
y The first ice produced may include
particles or odor from the water supply
line or the water tank.
y Throw away the first few batches of ice
(about 24 cubes). This is also necessary
if the refrigerator has not been used for a
long time.
y Never store beverage cans or other
items in the ice bin for the purpose of
rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the
icemaker or the containers may burst.
y If discolored ice is dispensed, check
the water filter and water supply. If the
problem continues, contact a qualified
service center. Do not use the ice or
water until the problem is corrected.
y Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the automatic shut off arm.
y It is normal for some cubes to be stuck
together.
y If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale, and
shrink.
y Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the
ice.
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off
y When the water supply will be shut off
for several hours.
y When the ice bin is removed for more
than one or two minutes.
y When the refrigerator will not be used for
several days.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the
position.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
y The icemaker water valve will buzz as the
icemaker fills with water. If the power
switch is in the ON (I) position, it will buzz
even if it has not yet been hooked up
to water. To stop the buzzing, move the
power switch to OFF (O).
NOTE
Keeping the power switch in the ON (I)
position before the water line is connected
can damage the icemaker.
y You will hear the sound of cubes dropping
into the bin and water running in the
pipes as the icemaker refills.
Preparing For Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and
shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied anytime the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF
(O) position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing, have a qualified technician drain
the water supply system to prevent serious
property damage due to flooding caused by
ruptured water lines or connections.
