24 Automatic Ice & Water Dispenser ICE DISPENSER OPERATION & CARE The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding mechanism are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about two days. The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes. IMPORTANT The 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, turn the ice maker's On/Off switch to Off. Otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may be noisy when it attempts to operate without water. Using The Ice Dispenser After Installation Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system as described on page 23. 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. Turning The Ice Dispenser On And Off Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off power switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream tray out. Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it Off and press to the "I" position to turn it On. NOTE The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
