29 HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
Automatic Icemaker
(continued)
y
The first ice and water dispensed may
include particles or odor from the water
supply line or the water tank.
y
Throw away the first few batches of ice.
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has
not been used for a long time.
y 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.
y
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.
y Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
CAUTION
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off
y
When the water supply will be shut off
for several hours.
y
When the ice bin is removed for more
than one or two minutes.
y
When the refrigerator will not be used
for several days.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
y
The icemaker water valve will buzz as
the icemaker fills with water. If the
power button has been turned on, the
ice maker will buzz even if it has not yet
been hooked up to water. To stop the
buzzing, press the power button to turn
it off.
y
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.
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.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when the
Ice On/Off button is turned to the OFF
mode.
NOTE
Keeping the power turned on to the
icemaker 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.
