USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

The icemaker will produce approximately 70-210 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door openings
and other operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to occur.
• Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When
full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6-8 (12-16
oz) glasses of ice.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
• The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi on models without a water filter and between
40 and 120 psi on models with a water filter to
produce the normal amount and size of
ice cubes.
• Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor
can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area
is clean at all times for proper operation.
CAUTION
• The first ice produced after installation may include
particles or odor from the water supply line or the
water tank. Throw away the first few batches of
ice (about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the
refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
• If discolored ice is produced, check the water supply.
If the problem continues, contact a Sears or other
qualifi ed 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 Off Arm.
• When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut
Off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
• It is normal for some cubes to be stuck together.
• If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, tase stale, and shrink.
• 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.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass
fragments in the ice.
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)
• When the water supply will be shut off 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.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF position.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
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).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off
the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied anytime the
icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF (O)
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have
a qualifi ed technician drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused
by ruptured water lines or connections.
