Starting the Ice Maker 1. Wash out the ice bucket, and then slide it under the ice maker (see the side diagram) as far as it will go. The ice bucket will be sitting on top of the freezer shelf. IMPORTANT: On top-mount models without a full-width freezer shelf, you will need to place the ice bucket on top of the inverted ice tray shelf. First, position the ice tray shelf face down so that the shorter side is alongside the freezer wall (see DETAIL A). Then insert the tabs on the shorter side of the shelf into the slots on the edge of the freezer floor. This will hold the shelf in position. Next, place the ice bucket on top of the inverted ice tray shelf and slide it under the ice maker (see side diagram). The ice maker will not function properly if the ice bucket is placed directly on the freezer floor. 2. Place the items back into the freezer compartment. 3. Lower the arm on the ice maker (see the side diagram) to its 'on" position, and close the freezer door. The ice maker will begin to make ice within 24 hours. NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Once ice is available, you may notice that it has an 'off taste." If this happens, make two or three batches of ice and discard them. After that, the "off-taste" should be gone. If you have any problems, refer to 'Troubleshooting" on page 25. This completes the installation of your Ice Maker. 24 Installing the ice bucket Raise arm to * stop ice off Lower arm to Turning the ice maker on
