29 HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker (continued)
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off
When the water supply will be shut o
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.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
The icemaker water valve will buzz as the
icemaker lls 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).
You will hear the sound of cubes dropping
into the bin and water running in the
pipes as the icemaker rells.
Preparing For Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and
shut o the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing, have a qualied technician drain
the water supply system to prevent serious
property damage due to ooding caused by
ruptured water lines or connections.
CAUTION
The rst ice produced may include
particles or odor from the water supply
line or the water tank.
Throw away the rst 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.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check
the water lter and water supply. If the
problem continues, contact a qualied
service center. Do not use the ice or
water until the problem is corrected.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the automatic shut o arm.
It is normal for some cubes to be stuck
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale, and
shrink.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the
ice.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker on/o switch is turned to the
OFF
position.
NOTE
Keeping the power switch in the ON (I)
position before the water line is connected
can damage the icemaker.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied anytime the
icemaker on/o switch is turned to the OFF
(O) position.
