Starting the Ice Maker

1. Wash out the ice bucket, and then slide it

under the ice maker (see the side diagram)

as far as it will go. The ice bucket will be

sitting on top of the freezer shelf.

IMPORTANT: On top-mount models without a

full-width freezer shelf, you will need to place

the ice bucket on top of the inverted ice tray

shelf. First, position the ice tray shelf face

down so that the shorter side is alongside the

freezer wall (see DETAIL A). Then insert the

tabs on the shorter side of the shelf into the

slots on the edge of the freezer floor. This will

hold the shelf in position. Next, place the ice

bucket on top of the inverted ice tray shelf and

slide it under the ice maker (see side dia-

gram). The ice maker will not function properly

if the ice bucket is placed directly on the

freezer floor.

2. Place the items back into the freezer

compartment.

3. Lower the arm on the ice maker (see the

side diagram) to its “on” position, and close

the freezer door. The ice maker will begin to

make ice within 24 hours.

NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24

hours for the ice maker to begin producing

ice. Once ice is available, you may notice that

it has an “off taste.” If this happens, make two

or three batches of ice and discard them.

After that, the “off-taste” should be gone. If

you have any problems, refer to “Trouble-

shooting” on page 25.

This completes the installation of your Ice

Maker.
