AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER FRIGIDAIRE & FRIGIDAIRE GALLERY Turning the REAR MOUNTED Ice Maker On and Off Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's ON/OFF power switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf out. Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it Off and press it to the "I" position to turn it On. The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm to manually stop the ice maker. Off On Wire Signal Arm IMPORTANT Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you have a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow cubes partially frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested, they break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. 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. The ice maker can't fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is jamming with small ice cubes or 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 Maker/Dispenser Tips • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained below. • Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated. • If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn Off the ice maker. • If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice container. • The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating: - Motor running - Ice dropping into ice container - Water valve opening or closing - Ice loosening from tray - Running water • When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes. • 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. • Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations. - If you turn Off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve. CAUTION Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is maintained to work properly. 21
