REQUESTS
While the ice maker is set to "Quick" or "On", do not put anything (frozen foods, the ice scoop, etc.) other than ice
made by the ice maker in the ice container. Putting food or other items in the ice container can lead to the following
problems: you might not be able to make ice, or part of the ice maker might get caught on the food or other item,
causing the part to break or preventing the door to the ice compartment from opening.
Open and close the door to the ice compartment with care.
If you open or close the door forcefully, ice might fall from the ice container into the freezer compartment.

Making ice quickly

1
Touch on the control panel to
activate the control panel.
All indicators will turn on, and then some will turn off to reflect the
current settings.
2
Touch so that the "Quick"
indicator turns on.
After running in "Quick" mode for about 7 hours,
the ice maker will automatically switch to "On" .
NOTES
While "Quick" is operating, the "Quick" display
continues to light. Also, the "eco operation indicator lamp" dose not light up.
" "
While Quick is operating, cooling for the freezer compartment is
given priority, so the temperature of the refrigerator compartment is
likely to increase when the doors are opened and closed frequently.

The "Water" indicator turns on when water in the water supply tank is getting low. Refill the tank.
If you open and close the left-side refrigerator door while this indicator is on, the indicator will turn off. If the refrigerator detects that the tank has not been refilled, the indicator will turn on again (within 3 hours).
