Instructions
+++,
For
Your
Safety
Do
not place fingers
or
hands
onthe automatic icemaking
mechanism while the refrigerator
is
plugged in.
This will help
protect you from possible injury.
It
will
also
prevent interference
with moving parts oftheejector
mechanism and the heating
elementthatreleases thecubes.
Under certain
rare
circumstances,
icecubesmay
be
discolored,
usually appearing with a green-
bluish hue.
Thecause of this
unusual discolorationisapparently
a combinationof fictors such as
certain characteristics
of
local
waters, household plumbing and
the accumulationof copper
salts
in
an inactive water supply line which
feeds the icemaker. Continued
consumptionof such discolored ice
cubes may
be
injurioustohealth.
If
such discoloration is observed,
discard the ice cubes and contact
thedealerfrom whomthe icemaker
or refrigerator
was
purchased, a
Factory ServiceCenter,
or
an
authorized Customer Care@
servicer.

When frozen, the cubesare rotated
up and out of the mold(Fig.

The sweeper arm ejects them into
the ice storage bin below.
I
I
I
2
The feeler arm (Fig.
3)
senses
when bin
is
full
and signals
icemaker tostopejecting more
cubes. However, the mold has been
refilled andcubesfrozen
so
the
new supply is ready when needed.
As
soon asice is removed from the
bin, the feeler arm signals that
more is needed. Icemaker resumes
operation by ejecting ready-and-
waiting frozen cubes.
How
to
Use
Your Icemaker,2
Will
Operate
1.
To start Icemaker, lower the
feeler arm to the
ON
position.
Make sure the ice bin is at the
rear of the freezer compartment,
below the icemaker.
2.
When Icemaker isfirst
fl,
connected or afteranyextended
period of non-use, you should
discard the firstfew batchesof
cubes. Use ice regularly to
maintain the best quality.
3.
The feeler arm must be free to
operate upward and outward over
the topof the ice storage bin during
each ice-delivery cycle. Make sure
packages
in
the freezer compartment
donot interfere with
its
movement.
4.
Raise the feeler arm
to
the
OFF
(up) position when:
a.
Ice storage bin is to be removed
for extended period of time.
b.
Refrigerator is not to be used for
a considerable time, such as
vacations.
Also,
turn off the water
supply tothe Icemaker in this
instance.
c.
Water supply is tobe shut off for
several hours.
5.
During operation, you may hear
certain sounds, suchas the hum of
<c.-
themotor,movement
of
thecube
&,,
ejector,humming or clickingofthe
water valve, andrattlingof ice as
it
falls into the bin. These sounds are
normal.
6.
The Icemaker ejects cubes in
groups and it
is
normal for several
cubes to be joined together.
7.
Ice cubes thathave been inthe
ice storage bin for a considerable
length
of
time may pick up off-flavor
tastes, stick together, and gradually
become smaller.We suggest that
these cubes be thrown away.
8.
You may, on occasion, find afew
smaller than normal cubes
in
the
bin. Thisis probably causedby low
water pressure at time
of
water
fill.
9.
The ice storage bin should be
cleaned occasionally
in
warm
water. Rinse and wipe dry. Be
sureto shut the Icemaker
OFF
when cleaning the bin.
10.
Keep ice level to keep
it
coming.
If cubes should build up
in
one area
of the ice storage bin after being
ejected from the mold, just level
them out with your hand. Keep
cubes distributed evenly and the
bin can reach
its
maximum cube
capacity.
