Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It
can completely fill an ice bin in about three (3)
days.
When using the ice maker for the first time and
in order for the ice maker to work properly, it is
necessary to clear air from water filter tubing.
Once ice maker begins making ice, allow the
bucket to fill completely, then discard the first
TWO (2) FULL buckets of ice. It will take at
least two (2) days to completely fill the bucket
on regular ice making mode or 1 1/2days on
fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately four
(4) pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on
usage conditions.
The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
Motor running
Ice dropping into ice bin
Water valve opening or closing
Running water
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd
flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
