3. Operating Instructions

After installation and restoring power, the ice maker will begin its initial cycle. This process can take several hours to produce the first batch of ice.

Initial Fill: The ice maker will automatically fill with water once the freezer reaches the correct temperature.
First Ice Production: The first few batches of ice may be smaller or have an unusual taste. It is recommended to discard the first 2-3 batches of ice.
Bail Arm: Ensure the metal bail arm is in the down position for ice production. Raising the bail arm will stop ice production.
Water Supply: Verify that the refrigerator's water supply line is connected and the water shut-off valve is open.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ice maker.

Cleaning: Periodically clean the ice storage bucket with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning it to the freezer.
Water Filter: If your refrigerator has a water filter, replace it according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure clean water for ice production.
Inspection: Occasionally inspect the ice maker for any signs of wear, leaks, or unusual ice formation.

5. Troubleshooting

If your ice maker is not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No ice production	Refrigerator not connected to water supply Water shut-off valve closed Bail arm in up position Freezer temperature too high Clogged water filter Ice maker motor or water valve failure	Ensure water line is connected Open water shut-off valve Lower the bail arm Set freezer temperature to 0°F (-18°C) or lower Replace water filter Contact a technician if other solutions fail
Small or hollow ice cubes	Low water pressure Clogged water filter Partially frozen water line	Check household water pressure Replace water filter Thaw water line if frozen
Ice tastes bad	New ice maker (first batches) Old or unfiltered water Food odors in freezer	Discard first few batches Replace water filter Clean ice bucket and freezer interior
Ice maker is noisy	Normal operation sounds (filling, harvesting) Loose mounting screws	This may be normal Check and tighten mounting screws

If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it may indicate a more complex problem requiring professional service.
