22 Automatic Ice Maker & Water Dispenser
Priming the water sup-
ply system
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the
water dispenser paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until
water comes out of the dispenser. It
may take about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about
two minutes to flush the system
and plumbing connections of any
impurities (stopping to empty the
glass as necessary).
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after two minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For
colder water, add ice to cup or container
before dispensing water.
Ice maker operation &
care
After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the
rear. You must dispense some ice to force
the ice forward in the bin. This will allow
the bin to fill completely.
Full bin should be expected after 48 to 60
hours with no ice usage. Ice rate is 2.0 to
2.5 lbs. per day. For extra capacity you
can add an ice maker kit for the freezer.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can work as soon as you
install your refrigerator. If you cannot
connect a water supply, set the ice
maker's On/Off icon to Off and turn off
the water supply valve; otherwise, the
ice maker's fill valve may make a loud
chattering noise when it attempts to
operate without water.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice
maker's On/Off icon on the control panel.
Press and hold the "Ice Off" icon for three
seconds to turn the ice maker "ON" or
"OFF". When the ice maker is "OFF" the
red LED above the icon will be illuminated.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal bale arm that automatically stops
ice production when the ice bin is full.
This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
Using the ice maker after
installation
Before making ice for the first time, be
sure to prime the water supply system.
Air in new plumbing lines can result in
two or three empty ice maker cycles.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed,
the first ice cubes may be discolored or
have an odd flavor.
