About 10 to 12 ice cubes can be made each time. The
ice cube size and the number of ice cubes in one batch
depend on various factors, such as the amount of water
in the water tank. When few ice cubes are being made,
pour water into the water tank.
When ice is made using water with a high mineral content,
such as mineral water, white deposits (white crystals) may
form in the ice. This is the crystallized mineral content
and is not harmful.
If the ice is stored inside the ice storage box for a long
time, ice cubes may join together or shrink (due to a
phenomenon called sublimation).

In the following cases, quick ice making is stopped automatically, and regular ice making will begin.
•When about 10 hours have passed since the quick ice making is set.
•When the ice storage box is full (about 70 to 140 ice cubes)
•When there is no water in the water tank
The sound of the refrigerator running gets louder during RAPID ICE, because it is operating at high speed.
Also, the ice may split or crack because it freezes in a short time.
