Automatic ice malcet..

If you have Model ET20DM and have the auto-

matic ice maker accessory, or if you have Model

ET20DK and plan to add one later (Part No.

ECKMF-831, there are a few things you will want to

know:

The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

Up...to shut off the ice maker.

DO NOT TURN ICE MAKER ON UNTIL IT IS CON-

NECTEDTO THEWATERSUPPLY.

The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker

changes the size of the cubes.

Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa-

rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity

It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a

corner. They will break apart easily.

LOWER

SIGNAL

ARM TO

START IT

RAISE

SIGNAL

ARM TO

STOP ICE

You will hear water running when Ice maker is

working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let

these sounds bother you.

The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is

cold enough to make ice. This can take

overnight.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first

ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard

the flrst few batches of ice.

If Ice is not being made fast enough and more

ice Is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control to-

ward a higher number. Walt a day and, If neces-

sary, turn the Freezer Control toward A.

If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to

shut off the Ice maker. When you return the btn,

push it all the way In and lower the arm to the ON

position.

If cubes are stored too long, they may develop

an off-flavor...like stale water. Throw them away.

They will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can

also become smaller by evaporation.

Good water quality is important for good Ice

quality It is not recommended that the ice maker

be connected to a softened water supply. Water

softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-

tioning softener can damage the ice maker

mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened

water supply cannot be avoided, then it is impor-

tant that the water softener be well maintained

and operating properly.

Sounds you may hear...

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t.

Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them.

Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor,

walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to

you, and what may be making them.

Possible Sounds: Probable Causes:

l Slight Hum, Sotl Hiss:

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air.

l Clicking or Snapping

Starts.

l Water Sounds:

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the

tubing for a few minutes after it stops, You may also hear defrost

water runnina into the defrost water pan.

l Ice Maker Sounds:

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from

into the bin.

l Running Sounds:

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor.
