● Ice making mode switches in order of “NORMAL” → “QUICK” → “OFF” every time the “ICE MAKER”  button is pushed. 

The current mode is indicated by the display and operating sound.

● Operation sound of automatic ice making including during ice separating and water supply can be OFF while ice making stops. 

● “WATER” indicator lamp turns off when the door of the Refrigerator 

Compartment is opened and closed while the indicator lamp is on, and it 
turns on again if no water is added to replenish the container.

● “WATER” indicator lamp remains off when “OFF” is selected for 

automatic ice making.

●  Amount of stored ice is automatically detected by the stored ice amount detecting lever of 

the Automatic ice maker which cannot be seen usually.
Automatic ice maker stops making ice when the amount of the stored ice reaches to the 
specifi ed level and it restarts making ice when the amount is below the level.

●  Limit line of stored ice amount represents the guide line of stored ice amount 

when the Automatic ice maker makes ice with ice leveled.
If the ice is stored partially, the detecting lever may contact the ice early. As a 
result, the Automatic ice maker may stop making ice before the amount of 
stored ice is enough.

● “WATER” may come on regardless of water levels 

if the water supply container is not placed properly. 
Push in the container completely if the indicator 
lamp comes on.
