the ice maker will drop into and scatter through out the freezer.
• Noises may occur when the ice maker is making ice or being supplied with water, or
when ice cubes drop into the ice bucket. However, this is not a system failure. When the
ice bucket is full, none of these noises will occur.
• The rst time you use the ice maker, or after you have replaced the water lter, the ice
made by the ice maker may have a carbon residue. If this happens, discard the rst full
load of ice. Note that the carbon residue is harmless to humans.
