HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker
(continued)
The first ice and water dispensed may
y
include particles or odor from the water
supply line or the water tank.
Throw away the first few batches of ice.
y
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has
not been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other items in
y
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
y
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.
y
Children may play with or damage the
controls.
The ice passage may become blocked with
y
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
y
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
Dispense ice into a glass before filling it
y
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
y
narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice
passage and refrigerator performance may
be affected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from
y
the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the
outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of
y
the ice door and passage.
Never remove the dispenser cover.
y
If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn
y
off the water supply and contact a qualified
service center.
CAUTiON
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off
When the water supply will be shut off
y
for several hours.
When the ice bin is removed for more
y
than one or two minutes.
When the refrigerator will not be used
y
for several days.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
The icemaker water valve will buzz as
y
the icemaker fills with water. If the Ice
on/off button is set to On, the ice maker
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.
You will hear the sound of cubes
y
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.
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.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when
the Ice On/Off button is set to the Off
mode.
NOTE
Keeping the Ice maker on before the
water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied any time
the Ice On/Off button is turned Off.
