ENGLISH
• Do not insert round ice into the in-door ice bin, 
as it can damage the ice and water dispenser.
• The icemaker begins producing ice 
approximately 48 hours after the appliance is 
initially installed. The first batches of ice may not 
be round and clear.
• Following installation or water filter 
replacement, the first few batches of ice may be 
semicircular or contain air bubbles.
• If the water pressure is less than 20 psi (138 kPa) 
or a reverse osmosis system is used, the shape 
of the ice may vary.
• The ice may look cloudy depending on the water 
quality in the installation location and the 
operating conditions.
• Throw away any shards of ice you may find in the 
ice bin, as they may stick to the ice stored in the 
ice bin.
• After a short term power outage, it will take 
longer to make the first batch of ice, and the ice 
may not be round. If the power will be out for a 
longer period, throw away the ice stored in the 
ice bin.
•The Craft Ice icemaker produces 1 batch of 
round ice (3 pieces) at a time.
•In 3 ICE mode (default setting), the Craft Ice 
icemaker produces 1 batch of round ice (3 
pieces) about every 24 hours. In 6 ICE mode, the 
Craft Ice icemaker produces 2 batches of round 
ice (6 pieces total) in the same period.
• For more ice, select the 6 ICE mode. For clearer 
ice, select the 3 ICE mode.
• The time needed to make ice may vary according 
to operating conditions.
• The ice bin stores 20 - 30 pieces of round ice.
Turning the Icemaker On/Off
To turn the automatic icemaker On/Off, press the 
power switch on the icemaker to the ON ( | ) or 
OFF (O) position.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
• Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker 
before the water line is connected can damage 
the icemaker.
• The icemaker water valve buzzes as the 
icemaker fills with water. If the icemaker power 
button is in the ON position, it will buzz even if it 
has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the 
buzzing, press the icemaker power button to 
turn it off.
• You will hear the sound of ice dropping into the 
bin and water running in the pipes as the 
icemaker refills.
Preparing for Vacation
Set the icemaker power button to OFF and shut off 
the water supply to the refrigerator.
• The ice bin should be emptied any time the 
icemaker power button is turned to the OFF 
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below 
freezing, have a qualified technician drain the 
water supply system to prevent serious property 
damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water 
lines or connections.
Storing Food
Food Storage Tips
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight 
and moisture-proof material unless otherwise 
noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer 
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, 
check date code to ensure freshness.
• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door 
bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or 
personal injury if items are removed with 
excessive force.
• Do not store glass containers in the freezer. 
Contents may expand when frozen, break the 
container and cause injury.
How to Store Food
• Butter or Margarine
-  Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed 
compartment. When storing an extra supply, 
wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
