• Place the ice bucket under the ice maker
with the side marked ‘ REAR’ facing the
back.
• Place the scoop holder at the front of
the ice bucket.
CAUTION
Ice may not be produced if the scoop
holder and ice bucket are not positioned
correctly.
Ice making
After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to
ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice.
For rst-time use
• Let the ice maker make ice for 1-2 days.
• Discard the rst 1-2 buckets of ice to remove impurities in the water supply system.
English 53
Diagnosis
• If ice does not dispense, rst check the
status of ice maker using the Test button
on the bottom of the ice maker.
• Press the Test button on the back of the
ice maker. You will hear a chime (ding-
dong) when you press the button. You
will hear another chime if the ice maker
is operating properly.
• Ice accumulating on one side of the tray
is normal. Arrange the ice evenly in the
tray to store more ice.
CAUTION
• Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing
sound over time. If this is the case, make sure to turn the ice making function off.
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact the waterline installer or a local
Samsung service center.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker, especially
when you open or close the door.
• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may
contain a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from
working properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket before using the
refrigerator.
• Do not put ngers or any objects into the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or
property damage.
• Due to sublimation, ice stored in the freezer for a long time gets smaller and then forms
large ice chunks. Therefore, if it will be a long time before you use ice, turn the ice
maker off as follows.
• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.
Operations
English54
