HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker
* Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent
to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce
50~140 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly
y
installed fridge to begin making ice.
Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.
Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin
y
is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds
approximately 6 to 8 glasses of ice.
The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or
y
138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models
without a water filter and 40~120 psi or
276~827 kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models
with a water filter to produce the normal
amount and size of ice cubes.
Foreign substances or frost on the ice-
y
detecting sensor can interrupt ice production.
Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times
for proper operation.

Tilting
Water fills the ice tray.
60 minutes after water has been added
y
to the ice tray, the ice tray will sit slightly
tilted to help the cold air reach the ice.
The ice-detecting sensors will sense
y
when the ice is ready to be dumped
into the ice bin.
