CAUTION • Do not insert round ice into the in-door ice bin, as it can damage the ice and water dispenser. NOTE • The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. The first batches of ice may not be round and clear. • 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. Turning the Icemaker On/Off To turn the automatic icemaker On/Off, press the power switch on the icemaker to the ON ( | ) or OFF (O) position. Normal Sounds You May Hear • Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker. OPERATION 35 • The icemaker water valve buzzes as the icemaker fills with water. If the icemaker power button is in the ON position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to 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. Preparing for Vacation Set the icemaker power button to OFF and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator. NOTE • The ice bin should be emptied any time the icemaker power button is turned to the OFF position. If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections. Storing Food Food Storage Tips Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness. CAUTION • Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force. • Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury. How to Store Food • Butter or Margarine - Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze. ENGLISH
