Ice maker
The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can
enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice.
Ice making
After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to
ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:
1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
2. Dispense the rst 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.
3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.
4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the rst glass-full of ice.
NOTE
• If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the rst 4
to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is lled with ice properly.
• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.
Diagnosis
If ice does not dispense, rst check the ice
maker.
1. Press Test on the side of the ice maker.
You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when
you press the button.
2. You will hear another chime if the ice
maker is operating properly.
CAUTION
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact your waterline installer or a local
Samsung service center.
• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is lled with ice or water. Water may
overow or ice may jam.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker,
especially when you open or close the door.
• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain
a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working
properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket so the ice bucket can rell
with fresh, loose ice cubes.
• Do not put ngers or any objects into the dispenser outlet or the ice maker. This can
cause physical injury or property damage.
Untitled-2 66 2019-07-08 11:46:29
English 67
Operations
• When reinserting the ice maker tray, make sure that the tray is properly centered at
the entrance. Otherwise, the tray can get stuck.
If You Turn the Ice Maker Off
If you press and hold Ice Maker for more than 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off, make
sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together,
making it difcult to remove them.
To remove the ice bucket, see the Ice bucket (applicable models only) section on page 68.
NOTE
• Removal of the ice bucket does not affect the thermal and mechanical performance of
the refrigerator.
Water clouding
Water supplied to the refrigerator ows through a core alkaline lter. During this ltering
process, the water pressure of the water increases and the water becomes saturated with
oxygen and nitrogen. This causes the water to look misty or cloudy temporarily when
dispensed. This is normal and the water will look clear after a few seconds.
FlexZone™ divider
You can change the divider position.
To do this, unlock the divider by turning
the divider dial counter clockwise. Then,
move the width and height bars as
appropriate. When done, turn the dial
clockwise to lock the divider.
NOTE
If the divider lock does not function, wipe
the bars to remove moisture on them.
