AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make 10 or 12 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. wWARNING Personal Injury Hazard • DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. lcemaker * 5 cells icemaker Power Switch Ice-detecting Sensor lcemaker * 6 cells icemaker Power Switch Ice-detecting Sensor wCAUTION • The first ice and water may include particles or odor • Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. from the water supply line or the water tank.
