USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR WATER DISPENSER (On some models) To dispense cold water, push on the dispenser switch with a glass. Icemaker Dispenser Switch Ice detecting sensor Power Switch Some dripping may occur after dispensing. Hold your cup beneath the dispenser for a few seconds after dispensing to catch all of the drops. WARNING: Do not put your fingers up the ice chute opening. Doing so can result in severe injury. CAUTION: Do not dispense ice into fine china or crystal glasses. China or crystal can break. AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER (on some models) The icemaker will produce approximately 100-130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions. • It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrig- erator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur. • Ice making stops when the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm. • 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). • The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a water filter to produce the normal amount and size of ice cubes. WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O) • When the water supply will be shut off for several hours. • When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two minutes. • When the refrigerator will not be used for several days. NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF position. NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR • 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). NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker. • You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills. PREPARING FOR VACATION Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut offthe water supply to the refrigerator. NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF (O) position. 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. CAUTION: • Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time. • 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. • Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice. WARNING Personal Injury Hazard DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. 16
