Total daily quantity depends on ambient temperature, number of door openings, pressure of water supply and temperature within the freezer compartment. Please arrange ice cubes in order, thus to make sure the storage bin can store more ice cubes. The ice maker can produce 7 cubes at a time, it's normal if several cubes stick to each other. NOTE Allow 24 hours for the freezer compartment to cool down, and the ice maker to obtain best working conditions. If this is your first ice maker: You may hear special sounds made by the ice maker, this is very natural, you don't have to worry about it. If you don't use ice very often: `Old' ice cubes may get gray, and off-taste. Please discard old ice and clean the ice storage bin with warm water regularly. Before replacement of storage bin, make sure it is cooled down to ambient temperature, and put it to sunshine, or otherwise ice cubes may stick to other parts of the ice maker and reduce ice production. Winter: In winter season, if you should stop using the ice maker for a long time, please take out ice cubes from the storage bin, and wash the bin with warm water, then, replace it after wiping it clean. Shut off the water supply to the refrigerator. Operation of Cold Water Dispenser Using the cold water dispenser: Press the cold water button with a cup as shown in the figure. There may be air entrapped in the piping, so you may have to hold down the button for a couple of minutes before you can get a cup of water.

The cold water from the dispenser is neither ice nor mixture of water and ice. If you need colder water, please add ice cubes or smashed ice in your cup. WARNING Do not put your fingers and other objects into the cold water dispenser and the ice storage bin. - 19 - Precaution when Using Cold Water Dispenser Do not use glasses or paper cup that are too deep, too thin, too soft or whose walls are too thin. 5 seconds after you've finished with fetching water, a `pap' sound will be heard, this is the sound produced by closing action of the outlet valve. After releasing the cold water button, please keep the cup under the water discharge opening for about 20 seconds, in case residue water spills. After disposal of water in the shelf, please wipe the spilled water on the lower end of dispenser. Never touch the water discharge opening or you might get injured.
