USING THE DISPENSER Using the ice maker after installation  NOTE 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. Priming the water supply system CAUTION For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction. After the initial 26 ounces (750 ml), water will remain room temperature until the tank has refilled and been given enough time to chill the next 26 ounces (750 ml) of water. May take up to 8 hours to chill. 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. Dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely. Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity 1 Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the dispenser. This ice maker should produce 2 to 3 pounds of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice. 2 Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes. Turning the fresh food ice maker on and off 3 Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary). IMPORTANT The ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as the refrigerator is installed. If it is not possible to connect a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water. Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off. Dispenser  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 The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal 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. IMPORTANT Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. Existing ice can still be dispensed, and water can be dispensed. 17
