Freezer Icemaker (Craft Ice
TM
)
This feature is only available on some models.
a Feeler Arm
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, 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.
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.
Storing Food
NOTE
If you are leaving home for a short period, like a
short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on.
Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will
stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for
an extended period, remove all food and unplug
the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the
door open to prevent fungi from growing in the
refrigerator.
If doors are opened or closed too often, warm
air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its
temperature. This can increase the running costs
of the unit.
