Operation
ENGLISH
Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes) and water
(about 7 glasses) first made after refrigerator installation.
The first ice and water may include particles or odor from the feed water pipe or
feed water box. This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for
a long time.
Children should be supervised when using the dispenser.
Be careful that frost does not block the ice passage.
The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used.
Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the
passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent
frost buildup.
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.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages.
Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door and passage.
Part breakage or injury may occur.
Never remove the icemaker cover.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If
the problem continues, contact service center. Do not use the ice or water
until the problem is corrected.
Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep.
Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be affected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
CAUTION
