HOW то USE
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to
the dispenser. The automaic icemaker can make 6
ice cubes at a time, 80-130 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 cube size will vary depending on the Water
Amount Selection Setting, as well as the water
pressure of the connected water line.
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.
AWARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism or with the heating element that
releases the cubes.
• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
NOTE: Raising the automaic shutoff arm does
not turn off the icemaker.

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.
