34 OPERATION
Freezer Icemaker
Auto shutoff (feeler arm)
NOTE
• 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.
• 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.

ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.

ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so
may damage the icemaker or the containers may
burst.
