Cautions	Throw away the ice (about 20 pieces) and water (about 7 glasses) first made after
	refrigerator installation.
	The first ice and water may include particles or odor from the feed water pipe or feed
	water box. This is necessary in case that the refrigerator has not been used for a long
	time.

	with ice powder if splinter ice is used only. This time,
	remove the ice powder accumulated.
	Never store beverage cans or other foods in ice
	storage bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
	Such actions may damage the automatic ice maker.
	Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
	Such glasses or containers may be broken.
	Put ice first into a glass before filling water or other beverages.
	Water may be splashed if ice is added to existing liquid in a glass.
	Never touch a hand or other tools on ice outlet.
	Touch may cause a part breakage or hand injury.
	Never remove the ice maker cover.
	Sometimes level the surface so that the ice storage bin is fully filled with ice.
	Ice is piled up just near the ice maker. So, such status may be considered, by the ice
	maker, that the ice storage bin is fully filled and ice making operation may stop.
	If discolored ice is dispensed, immediately contact service center, stopping use.
	Never use too narrow or deep glass.
	Ice may be jammed in ice passage and, thus, the refrigerator may be failed.
	Keep the glass at a proper distance from ice outlet.
