_b, 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 time. • Never store beverage cans or other foods in the ice bank 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. 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 O (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 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 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. 28
