OPERATION 23 ENGLISH Automatic Icemaker Freezer Icemaker This feature is only available on some models. The feature may vary depending on model purchased. Auto Shutoff (feeler arm) Power Switch NOTE • The icemaker produces ice once approximately 48 hours have passed after the appliance is initially installed. • Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 140 - 160 cubes) after installation.This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a longtime. • The automatic freezer icemaker produces 12 cubes at a time, 50-110 pieces within a 24 hour period if conditions are favorable. 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.). • The amount and shape of ice may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, water pressure, etc.). • The sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal. • If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop. • In the event of a power outage, throw away the ice stored in the ice bin. • 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. Turning the Automatic Icemaker On 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. • The icemaker water valve buzzes as the icemaker fills with water. If the icemaker power button is in the ON mode, 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 cubes 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 mode. • Discard the ice inside the storage compartment ice in the freezer if you go on vacation or if a prolonged power outage has occurred. The water product from melted ice could fall to the floor. 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
