• This 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.).
• 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.

• 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, 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.

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.
