ENGLISH
Automatic Icemaker
Auto shutoff (feeler arm)
NOTE
• Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent
to the dispenser. The icemaker produces 70 - 182
cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other operating
conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice.
• Ice-making stops when the in-door ice bin is full.
When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6
to 8 (12-16 oz.) glasses of ice.
• Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting
sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure
the sensor area is clean at all times for proper
operation.
• To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus
function. The function increases both ice making
and freezing capabilities.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT place ngers or hands on the automatic
ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
CAUTION
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
ontainers may burst.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the
ice door and passage.
Turning the Automatic Icemaker On
To turn the automatic icemaker On/Off, press and
hold the Ice On/Off button on the control panel for
three seconds.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
• Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
• The icemaker water valve buzzes as the icemaker
lls with water. If the Ice On/Off button is in the ON
mode, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked
up to water. To stop the buzzing, press the Ice On/
Off button to turn it off.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
rells.
Preparing for Vacation
Set the Ice On/Off button to OFF and shut off the
water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE
• The ice bin should be emptied any time the Ice On/
Off button is turned to the OFF mode.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualied technician drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property amage due
to ooding caused by ruptured water lines or
connections.
