ENGLISH 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 from the water supply line or the water tank. • Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20 pieces) 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.
