Automatic Ice Maker; Turning On And Off - Frigidaire Refrigerator Use & Care Manual

Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker
can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an
ice bin in two (2) to three (3) days.
When using the ice maker for the first time and in order
for the ice maker to work properly, it is necessary to
clear air from water filter tubing. Once ice maker begins
making ice, allow the bucket to fill completely, then
discard the first TWO (2) FULL buckets of ice. It will
take about two (2) days to completely fill the bucket on
regular ice making mode.
The ice maker produces approximately 100 - 130 cubes
or four (4) pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on
usage conditions.
See below for how to turn the ice maker on and off.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can
work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you
cannot connect a water supply right away, set the
power switch on side of ice maker to the "OFF" (O)
position. Otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may make
a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate
without water.

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to the "l" or ON position.
The ice maker power light will turn green when the
freezer light switch is pressed in or when the freezer door
is closed.
The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F
(-10°C). You will hear a buzzing sound each time the ice
maker fills with water. A newly installed refrigerator may
take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler
arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the
ice maker will stop producing ice. It is normal for several
cubes to be joined together.
