• Ice maker will remain m the off position until arm is
pushed down.
• The first one or two batches wHI probably contain
undersEed and HTegular cubes because of all m the
supply hne.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is nornlal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the sensor arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a shght hun], the
cubes will rattle as they fall into all empty storage
pan and the water valve may click or "'buzz"
occasionally.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shnnk, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bm penodmally and wash it m
lukewarm water. Be sure to dly the bm thoroughly
before replacing it.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chllhng. These items can block
the sensor aim, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
• Turn off (arm up) tile ice maker when tile water
supply is to be shut off for several hours.

Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic _ce
making mechanism while tile refngerator is
plugged in. Thin will help protect you from poss=ble
injunj. It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of tile ejector mechamsm and the heating
element that releases tile cubes.
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
be dBcolored, usually appearing with a green-
bluBh hue. The cause of this unusual dmcoloratlon
can be a combmatmon of factors such as certain
charactermucs of local waters, household
plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in
an reactive water supply line which feeds the ice
maker. Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
dmcoloratlon is observed, discard the racecubes
and contact your dealer to purchase and install a
water hne filter.
Water damage due to Haproper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growtll.
Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.
