REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All
safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are
defined as:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Power Switch
(Appearance may vary)
Icemaker
Feeler Arm
Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
SHUF\FOH³DSSUR[LPDWHO\²
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 OFF.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set the power switch to 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.
Preparing for Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF and
shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
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 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 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.
Normal sounds you may hear
■ The icemaker water valve will buzz when
the icemaker fills with water. If the power
switch is in the ON position, it will buzz even
if it has not yet been hooked up to water.
Keeping the power switch in the ON position
before it is hooked up to water can damage
the icemaker. To prevent this, move the
power switch to the 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.
