Before Using the In-Door Icemaker

Caution
  • Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

  • Throw away the first few batches of ice after installation. This is also necessary if the freezer has not been used for a long time.

  • Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.

Note
  • Ice is made in the automatic in-door icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker produces 6 cubes at a time, 70 - 120 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

  • The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 12 hours after the appliance is initially installed.

  • Throw away the first few batches of ice after installation.

  • The sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.

  • If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.

  • Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a long time may clump together and be difficult to separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin completely and clean it before reinstalling it.

  • Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff (feeler arm) can interrupt ice production. Make sure the auto shutoff (feeler arm) area is clean at all times for proper operation.

  • To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus function. The function increases both ice making and freezing capabilities.
