32 OPERATION
NOTE
• The amount and shape of ice may vary according
to the environment (ambient temperature
around the appliance, frequency of the door
being opened, amount of food stored in the
appliance, water pressure, etc.).
• In the event of a power outage, throw away the
ice stored in the ice bin.
Freezer Icemaker (Craft Ice
TM
)
This feature is only available on some models.
a Feeler Arm
b Power Switch
CAUTION
• Do not insert round ice into the in-door ice bin,
as it can damage the ice and water dispenser.
NOTE
• The icemaker begins producing ice
approximately 48 hours after the appliance is
initially installed. The first batches of ice may not
be round and clear.
• Following installation or water filter
replacement, the first few batches of ice may be
semicircular or contain air bubbles.
• If the water pressure is less than 20 psi (138 kPa)
or a reverse osmosis system is used, the shape
of the ice may vary.
• The ice may look cloudy depending on the water
quality in the installation location and the
operating conditions.
• Throw away any shards of ice you may find in the
ice bin, as they may stick to the ice stored in the
ice bin.
• After a short term power outage, it will take
longer to make the first batch of ice, and the ice
may not be round. If the power will be out for a
longer period, throw away the ice stored in the
ice bin.
•The Craft Ice icemaker produces 1 batch of
round ice (3 pieces) at a time.
•In 3 ICE mode (default setting), the Craft Ice
icemaker produces 1 batch of round ice (3
pieces) about every 24 hours. In 6 ICE mode, the
Craft Ice icemaker produces 2 batches of round
ice (6 pieces total) in the same period.
• For more ice, select the 6 ICE mode. For clearer
ice, select the 3 ICE mode.
• The time needed to make ice may vary according
to operating conditions.
• The ice bin stores 20 - 30 pieces of round ice.
Turning the Icemaker On/Off
To turn the automatic icemaker On/Off, press the
power switch on the icemaker to the ON ( | ) or
OFF (O) position.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
• Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker
before the water line is connected can damage
the icemaker.
• The icemaker water valve buzzes as the
icemaker fills with water. If the icemaker power
button is in the ON position, it will buzz even if it
has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the
buzzing, press the icemaker power button to
turn it off.
• You will hear the sound of ice 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.
NOTE
• The ice bin should be emptied any time the
icemaker power button is turned to the OFF
position.
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.
