ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
A CAUTIONS
• 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 for 2 minutes that are dispensed after
refrigerator installation.
• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been
used for a long fime.
• Never sfore beverage cans or other foods in the ice bank
for fhe purpose of rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers
may burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check fhe 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. Children may
play with or damage the controls.
• 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 icemaker cover.
• If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly, turn
off the water supply and contact an Authorized Service
Center. Call
1-800-243-0000 (24 hours a day, 365
days a year) and select the option to locate an
authorized servicer.
WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO 0 (OFF)
• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a
minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker
on/off switch is turned to the OFF position.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
with water. If the power switch is in the I (on) position, it
will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water.
To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (off).
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker
on/off switch is turned to the OFF position.
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off the
water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker
on/off switch is turned to the OFF position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have
a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding from
ruptured water lines or connections.
