HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker
(continued)
CAUTION
• The first ice and water dispensed may
include particles or odor from the water
supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice.
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has
not been used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other items 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 a qualified service
center. Do not use the ice or water until the
problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser.
Children may play with or damage the
controls.
• The ice passage may become blocked with
frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove
the frost that accumulates by removing
the ice bin and clearing the passage with a
rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can
also help prevent frost buildup.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments 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 ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn
off the water supply and contact a qualified
service center.
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off
• When the water supply will be shut off
for several hours.
• When the ice bin is removed for more
than one or two minutes.
• When the refrigerator will not be used
for several days.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when
the Ice On/Off button is set to the Off
mode.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as
the icemaker fills with water. If the Ice
on/off button is set to On, the icemaker
will buzz even if it has not yet been
hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing,
press the Ice on/off button to set it to
the Off position.
NOTE
Keeping the icemaker on before the
water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
• 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 Ice On/Off button to Off and shut off
the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied any time
the Ice On/Off button is turned Off.
If the ambient temperature is expected to 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.
