Ice and Water

Automatic Ice Maker

(non-dispenser models)

Note: Energy rating guides that are posted on the

refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include

optional ice maker energy usage.

To avoid personal injury or property damage,

observe the following:

• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic

ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is

plugged in. This will help protect you from possible

injury. It will also prevent interference with moving

parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating

element that releases the cubes.

• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may

be discolored, usually appearing with a green-

bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration

can be a combination of factors such as certain

characteristics of local waters, household

plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in

an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice

maker. Continued consumption of such discolored

ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such

discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes

and contact your dealer to purchase and install a

water line filter.

• Water damage due to improper water connection

may cause mold/mildew growth.

• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal

injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.

WARNING

Some models are automatic ice maker ready. The

number of the appropriate ice maker kit is IC10S. The

kit contains installation instructions and water

connection instructions.

Other models have a factory installed ice maker.

Connect the ice maker to the water supply as

instructed on pages 5 and 6. Proper water flow and

a level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice

maker performance.

Operating Instructions

• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is

down.

• After freezer section reaches

approximately 0° to 2° F (-18° to

-17° C), ice maker fills with water

and begins operating. You will have

a complete harvest of ice

approximately every three hours.

• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to

receive first harvest of ice.

• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation

to verify system is flushed of impurities.

• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until

click is heard.

• Ice maker will remain in the OFF position until arm is

pushed down.

• The first one or two batches will probably contain

undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the

supply line.

• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for

several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They

can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will

continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes

raises the sensor arm, shutting the ice maker off.

• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of

the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the

cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage

pan and the water valve may click or “buzz”

occasionally.

• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will

become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.

Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in

lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly

before replacing it.

• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the

ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can

block the sensor arm, causing the ice maker to

malfunction.

• Turn OFF (arm up) the ice maker when the water

supply is to be shut off for several hours.

To Remove the Ice Bin:

• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the

ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn

the ice maker OFF by raising the sensor arm.

To Install the Ice Bin:

• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker ON

by lowering the sensor arm.
