ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER NOTE: The automatic Ice maker is only included in some models. Check your specifications of your refrigerator. WARNING PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD Avoid contact with any moving parts of the ejector mechanism or with the heater that releases the ice cubes. DO NOT place your fingers in the automatic ice maker when the refrigerator is plugged in. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS After turning on your refrigerator, the ice will start to be made between 12 and 24 hours. YOU MUST TURN THE SWITCH TO O (OFF) • When the water supply is interrupted for many hours. • When the ice container is left out of its place for more than one or two minutes. • When the refrigerator will not be in use for various days. NORMAL SOUNDS • The valve will emit a buzzing sound when the ice maker is full of water. If the switch is placed in the off position the buzz will still be heard even when the water pipe has not been connected. To avoid this sound, move switch to O (off) position. NOTE: The ice maker can get damaged if the switch is kept in the ON position before the water pipe has been connected. • While the ice maker is filling up with water and producing ice, you will hear the sound of the ice falling and water flowing through the pipes. Ice maker Switch Sensor The ice maker produces 12 cubes per cycle (in between 80 and 100 cubes in a 24 hour period), depending on the temperature of the freezer, the times in which the door opens, and other using conditions (amount of food in the freezer, etc). If the refrigerator is used before the connection of water to the ice maker was performed, you must turn its dial to O (off). When the water connections are performed, turn its dial to I (on). PREPARING FOR VACATIONS Move the ice maker switch to the O (off) position and cut the flow of water going into the refrigerator. If room temperature is at freezing point, have a specialized technician drain the flow of water from the inner pipes (certain models) to avoid broken pipe related damage. NOTE: It is necessary to have a water source when both water and/or Ice dispensers are available in your product. The ice maker will fill up (and start making ice) between 12 and 24 hours after the refrigerator is turned on. Throw away the first batch of ice. Make sure that nothing interferes with the sensor. When the ice reaches the sensor, the ice maker will stop to make ice immediately. It's normal that some ice gets stuck. If the ice is not used frequently, the older cubes of ice will be opaque in color, smaller, and with a strange flavor. 23
