Freezer Icemaker OPERATION 19 Turning the Automatic Icemaker On or Off To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker, set the switch to ON (I). ENGLISH Auto shutoff (feeler arm) Power Switch NOTE •• The automatic freezer icemaker produces 12 cubes at a time, 50-110 pieces within a 24 hour period if conditions are favorable. This amount may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, etc.). •• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop. •• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal. •• The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. •• Discard the first ice cubes produced after initial install. •• Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a long time may clump together and be difficult to separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin completely and clean it before reinstalling it. WARNING Personal Injury Hazard •• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. Normal Sounds You May Hear •• Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker. •• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to OFF (O). •• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills. NOTE •• Do not keep the power turned on to the icemaker if the water line is not connected. Doing so can damage the icemaker. Preparing for Vacation Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off the water supply to the appliance. If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections. NOTE •• The ice bin should be emptied any time the power switch is turned to the OFF (O) position. CAUTION •• Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
