READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

Do not place fingers or hands in the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible injury.

It will also prevent interference with moving parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating element that releases the cubes, located on the bottom of the icemaker.

■ The icemaker water valve will buzz when

the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (on) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position before it is hooked up to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, move the power switch to the O (off) position. This will stop the buzzing.

■ The sound of cubes dropping into the bin

and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

About the automatic icemaker. GEAppliances.com

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Icemaker

Feeler Arm

Power Switch

Automatic Icemaker

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle---approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to I (on). The green light will come on.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, the green power light will blink. To correct this, set the power switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set the power switch to I (on) to restart the icemaker.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.

Green Power Light

Preparing for Vacation

Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

When you should set the icemaker power switch to O (off)

■ When the ice storage bin is removed for

more than a minute or two.

■ When the water supply will be shut off for

several hours.

■ When the refrigerator will not be used for

several days.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Installation IM-4A Instructions Icemaker Kit

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

•

IMPORTANT – Save these

instructions for local inspector’s use.

•

IMPORTANT – Observe all

governing codes and ordinances.

• Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these

instructions with the Consumer.

• Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions

for future reference.

• Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty.

It’s important that you use the water valve and fill tube extension that come with this kit, even though your refrigerator may already have them installed.

The old valve will not allow enough water through to fill the icemaker properly and will cause damage.

The fill tube extension needs to be a different length than the original tube for proper water flow. Cut the tube to the length indicated for your model of refrigerator.

Installation Instructions

INSTALL THE ICEMAKER FILL CUP

Install the icemaker fill cup (side-mounted) (15) into the icemaker as shown.

MOUNT THE ICEMAKER

• Lift the icemaker so the fill tube (13) fits in the

fill cup opening (E). Hang the icemaker on the two mounting screws (11).

Make sure:

• The power cord is still firmly in the socket.

• The fill tube (13) extends into the fill cup

opening on the back of the icemaker. (Check the rear of the refrigerator to make sure the fill tube has not been pushed out of the back of the refrigerator).

• The icemaker mounting screws are located in

the uppermost position of the mounting slots.

• The icemaker is level.

THEN SECURELY TIGHTEN THE ICEMAKER MOUNTING SCREWS.

PLUG IN THE ICEMAKER

Holding the icemaker in place, insert the icemaker power cord plug into the socket on the rear wall.

Press the plug firmly into the socket. Lock the plug in place by clipping the restraints onto each side of the plug. Make sure the restraints click into place. Make sure the power cord is still in the hook on the back of the icemaker.

Installation Instructions

WATER VALVE INSTALLED

Refer to the Water Line Installation Instructions for connection to the home water supply. After water line installation is completed, set the icemaker power switch to I (on).

The icemaking cycle will not begin until the icemaker and freezer compartment reach operating temperature, then icemaking will begin automatically.

ROUTE AND ATTACH THE WATER TUBE

• Fasten the plastic water tube to the back of the

refrigerator with adhesive-backed fasteners (4), spacing the fasteners as shown to take up slack in the tube.

INSTALL WATER LINE CLAMP

• Attach the water line clamp (strain relief) (6)

from the kit to the refrigerator. With the clamp directly in line with the water valve, drive the screw (5) from the kit through the clamp (6) at the indent into the back of the cabinet.

• The metal clamp is for the house water line (see

Water Line Installation Instructions). It is not to be used for the water tube from the water valve up to the inlet.

CONNECT WATER TUBE TO INLET

• Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (16) from the

kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the inlet, located in the top right corner of the refrigerator.

• While still squeezing the clamp, insert the free end

of the water tube (3) into the inlet as far as it will go.

• Then slide the clamp downward to capture the
