Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it
can work as soon as you install your refrigerator.
If you cannot connect a water supply, set the
ice maker’s On/Off icon to Off; otherwise, the
icemaker’sllvalvemaymakealoudchattering
noise when it attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the
ice maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently,itmaybeanindicationoflow

useful life and becomes clogged with particles,
less water is delivered to the ice maker during
each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six months or

IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice
making. You will still be able to dispense existing
ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shutsoffthewaterowafterthreeminutesof
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal
arm that automatically stops ice production
when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should
not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between
30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may
cause the system to malfunction.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of
ice per 24 hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold
