Ice Maker Operation

The ice maker will produce 8 cubes per cycle - approximately cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will be a time delay before the icemaker resumes operation.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

So if you don’t want to make ice, press the Ice Off button.

NOTE When “Ice making” function is selected,ice-making is priority, Then the temperature of freezer will be lower than the setting temperature. If you don’t need the “Ice making” function, please press the button of “Ice Off”. Failing to do so may cause noise.

STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR

The Samsung Refrigerator has been designed to provide you with maximum space saving features and functions. Here are some of the customized compartments we have created to keep your food fresher longer. In order to further prevent odor from seeping into the ice compartment, stored food should be wrapped securely and as airtight as possible.

NOTE Do not place any large articles of food under the lamp in the Refrigerator. An air sensor is located near the lamp and if the sensor is blocked, your Refrigerator may become too cold. Please place Vegetable and Fruits in the Vegetable and Fruits Drawers to avoid freezing them. If the food in your Refrigerator becomes frozen, please set the temperature higher.

STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER DRAWER

NOTE

• Bottles should be stored tightly together so that they do not tip and fall out when the Refrigerator door is opened.
• If you plan to go away for a long time, empty the Refrigerator and turn it off. Wipe the excess moisture from the inside of the appliance and leave the doors open. This helps keep odor and mold from developing.
