The feature may vary depending on model purchased. NOTE • Throw away the first bin full of ice after installation. This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time. • The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. • The sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal. • If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop. • 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.). • In the event of a power outage, throw away the ice stored in the ice bin. Freezer Icemaker (Cubed Ice) This feature is only available on some models. a Feeler Arm b Power Switch (some models) NOTE • This 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.). • 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. OPERATION 29 Freezer Icemaker (Craft IceTM) This feature is only available on some models. a Feeler Arm b Power Switch (some models) 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, 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.
