This amount may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, etc.). • Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a long time may clump together and be difficult to separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin completely and clean it before reinstalling it. Freezer Icemaker (Craft IceTM) This feature is only available on some models. • Following installation or water filter replacement, the first few batches of ice may be semicircular or contain air bubbles. • If the water pressure is less than 20 psi (138 kPa) or a reverse osmosis system is used, the shape of the ice may vary. • The ice may look cloudy depending on the water quality in the installation location and the operating conditions. • Throw away any shards of ice you may find in the ice bin, as they may stick to the ice stored in the ice bin. • After a short term power outage, it will take longer to make the first batch of ice, and the ice may not be round. If the power will be out for a longer period, throw away the ice stored in the ice bin. • The Craft Ice icemaker produces 1 batch of round ice (3 pieces) at a time. • In 3 ICE mode (default setting), the Craft Ice icemaker produces 1 batch of round ice (3 pieces) about every 24 hours. In 6 ICE mode, the Craft Ice icemaker produces 2 batches of round ice (6 pieces total) in the same period. • For more ice, select the 6 ICE mode. For clearer ice, select the 3 ICE mode. • The time needed to make ice may vary according to operating conditions. • The ice bin stores 20 - 30 pieces of round ice.

Normal Sounds You May Hear • Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker. • The icemaker water valve buzzes as the icemaker fills with water.

To stop the buzzing, press the icemaker power button to turn it off. • You will hear the sound of ice dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
