Preparations for the fi rst-time
ice making
• Wash the water tank and the ice storage box.
• Carry out the Ice tray cleaning mode to clean the ice tray
and the pipe.
(There may be odor or dirt within the automatic ice maker.)
Ice making
WARNING
Use potable water only.
To start operation
At fi rst, all the ice making mode are set "OFF".
1
Select one of the four modes.
Normal ice
Large ice
Flashing
2
Select "ON".
3
Finalize the setting.
4
Pull out the water tank and pour
water into it.
● Do not tilt the water tank
when carrying as the water
may spill.
Tank is full at
this position.
5
Set the water tank.
● Securely insert the water tank.
Ice cubes will not be made
unless the tank is inserted fully.
Ice is made automatically.
NOTE
• It takes about 24 hours to make the fi rst set of ice cubes.
• For hygienic reasons, replace the water once a week even
when there is water remaining in the tank.
• When you leave the tank empty, it may sometimes make a
groaning noise but this is normal.

Ice making process indication
Ice cube process indication will change according to the
completion of the ice making as follows.
Indication
• Automatic ice making is not operating.
• Within 5 minutes after the water supply.
Ice making is started.
• About two-thirds of the ice making is
completed.
• When the ice storage box is full.
Ice making is fi nished. The ice cubes are
dropped to the ice storage box.
(Control panel will light up to show the
completion.)
Water tank is out of water. Pour water into
the water tank.
• Even if the water tank is empty, the
fl ashing will be turned off by opening and
(Flashing)
closing the refrigerator doors. However,
the fl ashing will restart after a short time.
NOTE
• Do not use other than potable water. Do not use hot water
(heat-resistance:60°C), juice, tea, soda and sports drink etc.
(Dirtying of interior may result.) Malfunction of the ice maker
may occur as a result.
• Large size ice may not be made when the water level of the
water tank is low even if large ice mode is selected.
• Do not place the shovel or food on top of the ice cubes. This
may cause the automatic ice maker to malfunction (damage
of the detection lever, etc.) or the case not being able to be
pulled out. Set the shovel at the designated location.
Protrusions of ice cubes
• There are some slits placed in
the ice tray. Therefore, the ice
cubes coming from the tray will
have protrusions from these slits.
• The protrusions may be pointed.
Be careful when putting the ice
cube directly in your mouth.
White in ice cubes and fl oating substance
• The minerals contained in water may solidify and whiten as
water freezes. Minerals turn into a state which is insoluble
in water once it freezes, so melting the ice cubes will leave
only white fl oating substance, but this is normal.
• This is more likely to happen when you use hard water
(e.g.The hardness of the water is 100mg/L or more).
• The same thing will happen even if clear ice is set "ON".
