Your icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle—
approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other use conditions.
If your refrigerator

Icemaker

is operated before
water connection
is made to the
icemaker, keep the
icemaker feeler arm
in the STOP (up)
position.
When the
refrigerator has
been connected to
the water supply,
move the feeler arm
to the ON (down)
position. The ice
cube mold will
automatically fill
with water after
cooling to freezing
temperature, and first cubes will normally freeze after
several hours. When cubes are solidly frozen, they will
be ejected from the mold into the ice storage bin by
means of a sweeper arm. Icemaking will continue until
the feeler arm rests on the ice cubes in the storage bin.
For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with
your hand occasionally. Be sure nothing interferes
with the swing of the feeler arm.

Water Filter Accessory

Your ice cubes can only be as fresh-tasting
as the water that produces them. That's why
it's a good idea to purify your water with a
water filter.
REMOVES SEDIMENT
Rigid, porous graded density depth
cellulose fiber cartridge catches dirt,
rust particles, sand and silt.
REMOVES ODORS
Activated charcoal granules
remove musty, stale odors.
IMPROVES TASTE
Activated charcoal granules remove oily,
medicinal, plastic and metallic tastes.
REDUCES SCALE
Special crystals reduce hard scale deposit formation.

The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight and it is
normal for several cubes to be joined together.
Once your icemaker is in operation, throw away the
first few batches of ice cubes. This will flush away
any impurities in the water line. Do the same thing after
vacations or extended periods when ice isn't used.
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.
• Turning the temperature control to the OFF position.
If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy
and taste stale and will shrink. Empty the ice storage
bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water.
If this is your first icemaker, you'll hear occasional
sounds that may be unfamiliar. They are normal
icemaking sounds and are not cause for concern.
The water filter is an option at extra cost and is
available from your GE dealer. Specify WR97X0214.
It has complete installation instructions and installs in
minutes on 1/4" O.D. copper water line.

Water Supply Kit

A kit containing copper tubing, shut-off valve, fittings
and instructions needed to connect the icemaker to
your cold water line is available at extra cost. See
Preparation section.

Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not come already equipped
with an automatic icemaker, an Icemaker Accessory
Kit is available at extra cost. Check the back of the
refrigerator for the specific icemaker kit needed for
your model.
