AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The icemaker will produce 70~210 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings 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.

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic

icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.

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 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
