valveis locatedinthe crisperdrawer in abag. Connectthe icemakertothe water supply

as instructedintheseparateinstructions,furnishedwiththe refrigerator.

The automatic ice maker is designed to furnish a continual supply of ice cubes. The

amount of iceproduced depends on the temperature in the freezer section of your

refrigerator. The colderthefreezer section,the moreice isproduced. Wesuggest you

startwith your refrigerator andfreezer controls attheir midsettings. Inmostcases,this

issatisfactory. If the door to therefrigerator or freezer is opened frequently or

temperatures in the kitchen are abnormally high,a colder setting may be necessary.

After your model has been installedand thewater supply connected to the ice maker,

it may take 8 to12 hoursbeforetheice maker furnishesanyusable icecubes. Thefirst

one or two harvests will probably contain undersized and irregular cubesbecause of

air in the supply line. Theinitial harvestmay also contain impuritiesfrom the newwater

supply piping. Therefore, el) cubes fromthefirst twoor threeharvests should be

discarded.

Under certain rare circumstances,icecubes may be discolored,usuallyappearing with

a green-bluishhue.Thecauseof thisunusualdiscolorationisapparentlya combination

of factors such as certain characteristics of localwaters,household plumbing and the

accumulationofcopper saltsin an inactivewater supply linewhich feeds theice maker.

Continued consumptionof such discoloredicecubes may be injuriousto health. If such

disco(orationisobserved,discard theice cubes and contactthedealer from whom the

ice maker or refrigeratorwas purchased.

(ca cubes that have been in the ice storage for a considerable lengthoftime may pick

upoff-flavortaste,stick together, andgradually becomesmaller. We suggestthatthese

cubes bethrown away. We alsosuggest using an openbox of baking soda in the

refrigerator for food odor absorption.

Certainsoundsmayaccompanythevariouscycles of theice maker. Examples are: (1)

themotormayhavea slighthum, (2)thecubeswillrattleastheyfall intoanemptystorage

bin, and (3) the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally. All of these sounds are

normal and should be ignored.

Note:Whendispensingicecubes, it isimportantthat you use only theicesuppliedby

thisicemaker, fcefrom anyothersourcecouldcause anicejam. ifthishappens, remove

and discard all ice from the storage bin and any icelodged in the ice chute.
