Ice Service
Automatic Ice Maker
The water inlet tubing assembly required to complete the water connection to the water valve is located in a bag inside the refrigerator. Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed in the separate instructions furnished with the refrigerator. To remove the ice bin: � Pull down on lower back edge of the Automatic Dispenser bin front and pull it straight out. To replace the bin, align its bottom rails to the corresponding shelf grooves and push it straight back until it stops and latches. Make sure the tabs, at the back of the bin, that turn the spiral auger are positioned between the prongs from the auger motor. To avoid the ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn the ice maker off by lifting the wire lever. � Turn the ice maker on by lowering the wire lever arm. � Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the wire lever 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.

For Your Safety
� After your refrigerator has been hooked up to the water supply, move the wire lever arm into the down position. This will start its operation. The ice maker will fill with water when the freezer reaches the proper temperature. � It may be 8 to 12 hours before the ice maker furnishes any usable ice cubes. The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the supply line. � The initial batch may also contain impurities from the new water supply piping. Therefore, all cubes from the first two or three batches should be discarded. � 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 wire lever 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 before replacing it. 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.
