19 ICE MAKER  NOTE Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that you may install in most models at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will produce minimal ice during the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice container. New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours. ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT The ice maker will produce 2 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10 cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.  NOTE Set the freezer to a colder setting to increase the output of the ice maker. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. CAUTION Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher. IMPORTANT The ice maker is shipped in the On position. To ensure proper function for your ice maker, hook up the water supply immediately or turn the ice maker Off. If the ice maker is on and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise. Turning your Ice Maker On After completely connecting the plumbing, you must open the water supply valve. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Press the ice maker's On/Off button. Turning your Ice Maker Off To stop the ice maker, press the ice maker's On/Off button. The ice maker regulates the ice production and stops making ice when full and starts again when ice is low in the ice container.
