Anewly-installed refrigerator maytake 8 to 12 hours to beginmaking ice cubes.Throw away the first few batchesof ice. This flushes away impuritiesin the water line.Icemaking will continue until the feeler arm senses a sufficientaccumulation of ice cubes in the storage bin and halts the operationtemporarily. For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes withyour hand occasionally. Be sure nothing interferes with the swing ofthe feeler arm.The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight and it is normal forseveral cubes to be joined together.Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP (up) position when:• home water supply is to be off for several hours.• ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time.• going away on vacation, at which time you should also turn off thevalve in the water supply line to your refrigerator.• turning the fresh food control to the OFF position.If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy andtaste stale.
