Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating refrigerator. Read entire manual before installing kit. All necessary tools and materials must be available prior to installation. Verify all listed parts are included in kit. If parts are missing, contact source from whom kit was purchased.

• If unable to solve a problem during installation, refer to your refrigerators owners manual for service information. Before Calling Service... If something seems unusual, please check “Trouble Shooting” section, which is designed to help you solve problems before calling service. WARNING! To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Unplug power cord or open household circuit breaker to refrigerator before installing kit. After installing kit, reconnect power. CAUTION! To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Do not place fingers or hands on or around the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrig- erator is plugged in.

• REPLACE ORIGINAL ICE STORAGE BUCKET WITH ONE FROM KIT to avoid spilling ice cubes.

• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 20 and 100 pounds per square inch. If water filter is installed, water pressure to water valve must be a minimum of 35 pounds per square inch.

• Start nuts by hand to avoid cross threading. Finish tightening nuts using a wrench. Do not over- tighten.

• Check carefully for water leaks prior to returning refrigerator to normal location and 24 hours after connection.3 Water fills the empty cube mold when the freezer has cooled to freezing temperature. Cold air is forced directly over the mold. How the Ice Maker Works When frozen, the cubes are moved up and out of the mold. The sweeper arm (A) ejects them into the ice storage bin (B) below. About Your Ice Maker

How to Use Your Ice Maker

To start ice maker, lower feeler arm to ‘on’ position.

• Make sure ice storage bin is below ice maker and pushed back as far as possible.

Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive first harvest of ice.

• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation to verify system is flushed of impurities. NOTE: Feeler arm must be free to move upward and outward over ice storage bin for ice production. Make sure packages in freezer compartment do not block its movement. When is it appropriate to shut off my ice maker? Raise the feeler arm to the STOP (up) position when:

• Ice storage bin is removed, or is being cleaned.

• Refrigerator is not to be used for an extended time, such as vacations. Also, turn off the water supply to the ice maker in this instance.

• Water supply is to be shut off for several hours. My ice cubes have an odor. What can I do to avoid this? Ice is a porous material and is likely to absorb odors from surrounding areas. Ice cubes that have been in the ice storage bin for a considerable length of time may pick up off-flavor tastes, stick together, and gradually become smaller. We suggest that these cubes be thrown away. Other ways to control ice cube odor are listed below.

• The ice storage bin should be cleaned occasionally in warm water. Be sure to put the icemaker feeler arm in the STOP (up) position when cleaning the bin. Rinse and wipe dry.

• Check for spoiled or expired items and discard. Wrap all odor-causing foods, or store foods in tightly-sealed containers to prevent odor reoccurrence.

• Water filter (some models) may need to be replaced.

• In some cases, household water quality may need to be checked. If a water filter is desired, a water filter may be ordered for some models. Contact your dealer for more information on your particular model. Is it possible for the ice maker to overfill the storage bin ? The feeler arm (C) senses when the bin (B) is full and signals the icemaker to stop ejecting cubes. The mold refills and freezes a new supply. Once the feeler arm senses that more is needed, the ice maker resumes operation by ejecting the frozen cubes.

How to Prepare the Freezer Compartment Installing Your Ice Maker

Remove freezer accessories, including all baskets and shelves.

• See Owner’s Manual on instructions onremoval and replacement of freezer items.

From back of refrigerator (A), use screwdriver to pierce interior sealing tape (B) that covers the hole for the water fill tube inlet (C).

Remove the ice service rack If you have a wire ice servicerack (A)• Remove ice trays andstorage bin.• Remove the two screws (B)and discard screws andwashers (C). if you have a plastic iceservice rack (D)• Slide front portion of shelfup off of front wall screw.• Pull rack forward untilscrew is stopped in L-shaped groove. Lift shelfup off of rear wall screw.

• If tube does not comethrough the interiorfreezer wall, use a pairof needle-nose pliers topull tube through.

Remove tape or plastic bag from the end of the fill tube.

Cover end of fill tube with masking tape (D) or small plastic bag to avoid insulation from entering tube during insertion.

Pry water connection cover off using a flat blade screwdriver. Water connection cover is located on back freezer wall. ICEMAKERREADY If present, locate white tube inlet cover on back of unit, and pry off using a flat- blade screwdriver with the blade covered with masking tape.

If present, locate tube inlet sticker and remove. Cut through metallic tape under the sticker.

How to Mount the Water Valve Assembly

Locate water valve cover plate on back of unit in lower left hand corner. Remove cover plate with a ¼” hex nut driver.

• Retain screw for later replacement.• Cut wire tie holding harness to cover plate.Take care not to cut wires.• Discard cover plate

Plug harness from inside machine compartment onto water valve electrical terminals.

Tuck bottom portion of valve inside machine compartment behind the tab (G) and fasten valve to cabinet with ¼” screw (F) from step

Position valve water line as illustrated and secure with small plastic adhesive clip (A) located in ice maker kit.

If hole in the back of the cabinet is as illustrated to the right , then push gently on the water fill tube while twisting it slightly. Make sure flange (E) is firmly seated in the hole

• Pull on back of fill tubeto be sure that thefit is tight. If tube comesloose, repeat aboveinstructions.

If hole in cabinet back is diamond shaped, then insert fill tube. Press firmly inward while rotating clockwise 30° until water line is vertical and fill tube is locked into back wall.

• Pull on back of fill tube to be sure that the fit istight. If tube comes loose, repeat aboveinstructions.
