Arm to Start It

It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a

corner. They will break apart easily.

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.

Ice cube trays.. .

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 toward a

higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary. 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 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 con-

nected to a softened water supply Water softener

chemicals such as salt from a malfunctioning soft-

ener can damage the ice maker mold and lead to

poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot

be avoided, then it is important that the water soft-

ener be well maintained and operating properly.

If cubes are not used. they may shrink. The moving

cold air starts a slow evaporation. The longer cubes

are stored, the smaller they get.
