SIGNAL

ARM TO

START IT

RAISE

SIGNAL

ARM TO

STOP ICE

To remove ice:

1. Hold tray at both ends

2. Slightly twist

You will hear water running when ice maker is

working. You II 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 first 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. Wait 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 bin,

push it all the way in and lowerthe 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...

Possible Sounds:

Slight Hum, Soft Hiss:

Clicking or Snapping

Sounds:

Water Sounds:

Ice Maker Sounds:

- trickling water

- thud (clatter of ice)

Running Sounds:

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 makrng them

Probable Causes:

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

The defrost timer makes a definite clrck when the refrigerator

stops running. It also makes a sound when the refngerator starts

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

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

water running into the uefrost water pan

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

the water valve) trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped

into the bin

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor

It will

run longer than older designs It may even seem to run most

of the time
