AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make 10 or 14
ice cubes (depending on your device) at a time, above
100 cubes per 24-hour period. This quantity may vary
by circumstance, including freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door
openings, freezer load, and other operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to make ice.
• Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
• The water pressure must be 20 and 120psi on models
without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi on
models with a water filter to make normal amount and
size of ices.
NOTE: It is normal that a noise is produced when ice
drops into the ice storage bin.
• Even when the water pipe is not connected and the Ice
Maker is turned on, the water valve operates.
The noise is generated because the water pipe is not
connected, which does not mean the icemaker is
defective.
w WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
ENGLISH
w CAUTION
• The first ice and water may include particles or
odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about
20 pieces) and purge the water line for 2 minutes after
installation to eliminate air and odd tastes.
• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been
used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other foods in the
ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers
may burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water
filter and water supply. If the problem continues,
contact an Authorized Service Center. Do not
use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser.
Do not allow children to play in or around dispenser.
• The ice passage may also become blocked
with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove
the frost that accumulates.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such glasses or containers may break, and glass
fragments could be in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or
other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is
dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep.
Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator
performance may be affected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice
from dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door
and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly,
turn off the water supply and contact an Authorized
Service Center. Call
