How soon will I have ice after the ice-maker has been connected?
Your refrigerator may take up to 8 to 12 hours before it produces usable ice cubes.
The initial batches of ice cubes may have irregular shapes, colours, or other impurities especially if your refrigerator is a plumbed model. You may want to discard the first two or three batches before your appliance starts producing perfect ice cubes.
