Ice maker

The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can enjoy filtered water with cubed or crushed ice.

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:

1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.

2. Dispense the first 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.

3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.

4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the first glass-full of ice.

NOTE

• If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the first 4 to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is filled with ice properly.
• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.

Diagnosis

If ice does not dispense, first check the ice maker.

1. Press Test on the side of the ice maker. You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when you press the button.

2. You will hear another chime if the ice maker is operating properly.

CAUTION

• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact your waterline installer or a local Samsung service center.
• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam.
• 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 so the ice bucket can refill with fresh, loose ice cubes.
• Do not put fingers or any objects into the dispenser outlet or the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or property damage.
• When reinserting the ice maker tray, make sure that the tray is properly centered at the entrance. Otherwise, the tray can get stuck.

If You Turn the Ice Maker Off

If you press and hold Ice Maker for more than 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off, make sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together, making it difficult to remove them.

To remove the ice bucket, see the Ice bucket (applicable models only) section on page 63.

NOTE

• Removal of the ice bucket does not affect the thermal and mechanical performance of the refrigerator.

Water clouding

Water supplied to the refrigerator flows through a core alkaline filter. During this filtering process, the water pressure of the water increases and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. This causes the water to look misty or cloudy temporarily when dispensed. This is normal and the water will look clear after a few seconds.

Cool Select Zone (applicable models only)

The Cool Select Zone is a full-width drawer with adjustable temperature control. The Cool Select Zone can be used for large party trays, deli items, pizza, beverages, or miscellaneous items.

CAUTION

• Do not use the Cool Select Zone to store most kinds of fruit or leafy vegetables. These food items may suffer coldtemperature damage.
• Do not store glass bottles in the Cool Select Zone in Beverage mode. They may break and cause physical injury.
