3. Operating Instructions
The ice maker operates automatically once properly installed and the freezer reaches its operating temperature. It will fill with water, freeze the water into cubes, and then eject them into the ice bin.
On/Off Control:
Most ice makers feature a wire shut-off arm. When this arm is in the down position, the ice maker is ON and will produce ice. When the ice bin is full, the arm will be pushed up by the ice, automatically stopping ice production. To manually stop ice production, lift the wire arm to the up position.
Ice Production Cycle:
The ice maker typically produces a batch of ice every few hours, depending on freezer temperature and usage. The first few batches of ice may be smaller or have an unusual taste; it is recommended to discard these initial batches.
