Automatic icemaker and ice & Water Dispenser
An automatic icemaker and a dispenser provide water
and ice cubes through the freezer compartment door_
Here's how they work:
Water flows from
household water
supply through
(1) dual solenoid valve to
(2) water reservoir and to
(3) automatic icemaker
as needed,
Water is frozen in
(4) cube mold and
ejected into
(5) storage bin where a
motor-powered auger
moves cubes forward into
dispensing unit
Cubed or crushed ice, as selected, dispense through
chute in door when cradle is pressed
Water from reservoir flows throu gh
(6) tubing in door and is dispensed when cradle is
pressed
important Facts about "YourDispenser
• Your icemaker will produce eight cubes
per cycle-approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour
period-depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door
openings and other use conditions.
• Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal.
if ice flow interruption is more than brief, ice clump(s)
may be the cause and should be removed_
• Avoid overfilling glasses with ice and using
narrow or extra-tall glasses. This can jam the
chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut
Periodically open the freezer compartment door and
look down into the chute If ice is blocking the chute,
poke itthrough with a wooden spoon
• Do not dispense ice into thin glasses, fine
china or delicate crystal-they can crack or chip
from combined pressure of hand pressing them
against cradle and ice dropping into container,
• Dispense ice before filling glass with soda or
other beverage mixes. This will prevent splashing
which isannoying and which, if the splash reaches
the ice selector switch, could cause it to stick or bind
- Beverages and foods should not be quick-
chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or
food packages in the storage bin may cause the
icemaker to malfunction
• Ice other than that produced by your
icemaker should not be added to the ice
storage bin-it may not dispense well
Before Using Your Icemaker and Dispenser
If refrigerator is
operated before
water connection is
made, raise ice access
door and make sure
icemaker feeler arm is
in OFF (up) position
OFF (up)
position
arm in Feeler arm in
ON (down)
position
When water supply has been connected to
icemaker, move feeler arm to ON (down) position
Depress water dispenser cradle for about two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water line
and to fill water reservoir automatically
The ice cube mold will automatically fill with water
offer cooling to freezing temperature, and first cubes
normally freeze after several hours
When cubes are solidly frozen, they will be eiected
from the mold into the ice storage bin by means of a
sweeper arm icemaking will continue until the
feeler arm senses that there are enough cubes in the
bin and halts the operation temporarily. Be sure
nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm_
For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes
with your hand occasionally
