Automatic Icemaker

Fridge Icemaker

The automatic icemaker can automatically make 70-182 cubes at a time, within a 24hr period if conditions are favorable. This amount may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, etc.).

• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.
• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
• The icemaker produces ice normally when approximately 48 hours have passed after the appliance is initially installed.
• Discard ice produced for the first time without using it.
• While the automatic icemaker is operating, do not touch it with your hands directly.
• If ice cubes are stored in the ice bin for a long period of time, they may clump together and may not be separated easily. In such a case, clean the ice bin before using it.

Freezer Icemaker ( \* )

The automatic freezer icemaker produces 12 cubes at a time, 50-110 pieces within a 24 hour period if conditions are favorable. This amount may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, etc.).

• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.
• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
• The icemaker produces ice once approximately 48 hours have passed after the appliance is initially installed.

- Discard the first ice cubes produced after initial install.
