AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER FRIGIDAIRE PROFESSIONAL Using the ice maker after installation 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. Ice maker/dispenser tips • If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section. • The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating: - Motor running IMPORTANT Your 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, 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. IMPORTANT On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it's been six months or longer since you last changed your water filter, replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently. - Ice dropping into ice bin - Water valve opening or closing - Running water • When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes. • If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin. • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below. • When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes. • To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your container before adding liquids. • It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin. CAUTION If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker. 24
