FOR YOUR SAFETY

MODELS WITH AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER The water inlet tubing assembly required to complete the water connection to the water valve is located in the crisper drawer in a bag. Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed in the separate instructions furnished with the refrigerator. The automatic icemaker is designed to furnish a continual supply of ice cubes, With this useful feature, you no longer have the inconvenience of filling ice cube trays, or the frustration of running out of ice. The amount of ice produced depends on the temperature in the freezer section We suggest you start with your refrigerator and freezer controls at their mid settings. In most cases, this is satisfactory.

All of these sounds are normal and should be ignored. The icemaker has a wire sensor arm that is connected to a shut-off switch. This arm stops the mechanism when the ice cube storage pan is full, and restarts it after several ice cubes have been used.

HOW THE ICEMAKER WORKS Water fills the empty cube mold when the freezer compartment has cooled to freezing temperature. Cold air is forced directly over mold. When frozen, the cubes are rotatedwater and out to the icemakerThe insweeperinstance, ejectspractical. into turn off the up supply of the mold. this arm if them the ice storage bin below. The sensor arm senses when the bin is full and signals the icemaker to stop ejecting more cubes. Meanwhile, the mold has been refilled and cubes frozen so the new supply is ready when needed. As soon as ice is removed from the bin, the sensor arm signals that more is needed. The icemaker resumes operation by ejecting ready-and-waiting frozen cubes.
