Preparations for the fi rst-time
ice making
Wash the water tank and the ice storage box. •
Carry out the Ice tray cleaning mode to clean the ice tray and •
the pipe.
(There may be odor or dirt within the automatic ice maker.)
Ice making
WARNING
Use potable water only.
To start operation
At fi rst, all the ice making mode are set “OFF”.
1 Select one of the four modes.
Normal ice Clear ice (normal size)
Large ice + Clear ice (large size)
2
Select “ON”.
3
Finalize the setting.
4
Pull out the water tank and pour water
into it.
Do not tilt the water tank ●
when carrying as the water
may spill.
5
Set the water tank.
Securely insert the water tank. Ice ●
cubes will not be made unless the
tank is inserted fully.
NOTE
It takes about 24 hours to make the fi rst set of ice cubes. •
For hygienic reasons, replace the water once a week even when •
there is water remaining in the tank.
When you leave the tank empty it may sometimes make a •
groaning noise but this is normal.
+
Tank is full at this
position.
Ice is made automatically.
Ice making process indication
Ice cube process indication will change according to the
completion of the ice making as follows.
Indication Condition
Automatic ice making is not operating. •
Within 5 minutes after the water supply. •
Ice making is started.
About two-thirds of the ice making is •
complete.
When the ice storage box is full. •
Ice making is fi nished. The ice cubes are
dropped to the ice storage box.
(Control panel will light up to show the
completion.)
Water tank is out of water. Pour water into
the water tank.
Even if the water tank is empty, the •
fl ashing will be turned off by opening and
closing the refrigerator doors. However, the
fl ashing will restart after a short time.
NOTE
Do not use other than potable water. Do not use hot water (heat- •
resistance:60°C), juice, tea, soda and sports drink etc.(Dirtying of
interior may result.) Malfunction of the ice maker may occur as a
result.
Large size ice may not be made when the water level of the water •
tank is low even if large ice mode is selected.
Do not place the shovel or food on top of the ice cubes. This may •
cause the automatic ice maker to malfunction (damage of the
detection lever, etc.) or the case not being able to be pulled out.
Set the shovel at the designated location.
Protrusions of ice cubes
There are some slits placed in the •
ice tray. Therefore, the ice cubes
coming from the tray will have
protrusions from these slits.
The protrusions may be pointed. •
Be careful when putting the ice
cube directly in your mouth.
White in ice cubes and fl oating substance
The minerals contained in water may solidify and whiten as •
water freezes. Minerals turn into a state which is insoluble in
water once it freezes, so melting the ice cubes will leave only
white fl oating substances, but this is normal.
This is more likely to happen when you use hard water •
(e.g.The hardness of the water is 100mg/L or more).
The same thing will happen even if clear ice is set “ON”. •
