- The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed.
- The sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
- If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.
- The amount and shape of ice may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, water pressure, etc.).
- In the event of a power outage, throw away the ice stored in the ice bin.
Freezer Icemaker (Cubed Ice)
This feature is only available on some models.
- Feeler Arm
NOTE
- This automatic freezer icemaker produces 12 cubes at a time, 50-110 pieces within a 24 hour period if conditions are favorable. This amount may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, etc.).
- Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a long time may clump together and be difficult to separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin completely and clean it before reinstalling it.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
- Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.

- The ice bin should be emptied any time the icemaker power button is turned to the OFF position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.
Storing Food
NOTE
- If you are leaving home for a short period, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
- If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.
- If doors are opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.
Food Storage Tips
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material
unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout
the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.
CAUTION
- Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.
- Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury.
How to Store Food
- Butter or Margarine
- Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
- Cheese
- Store in original wrapping until used. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Milk
- Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place containers on an interior shelf.
- Eggs
- Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
- Fruit
- Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in original container in a crisper, or store in completely closed paper bag on refrigerator shelf.
- Leafy Vegetables
- Remove store wrapping, trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas, wash in cold water, and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
- Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
- Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
- Fish
- Freeze fresh fish and shellfish if they are not being eaten the same day purchased. Eating fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased is recommended.
- Leftovers
- Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.
NOTE
- Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come into direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
- Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
- If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
Storing Frozen Food
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about
preparing food for freezing or food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more
unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than
2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough
room at the front so the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE
- Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the
package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could
have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also
dry out frozen food.
Packaging Recommendations
- Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
- Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- Plastic-coated paper
- Non-permeable plastic wraps
- Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.
Do not use
- Bread wrappers
- Non-polyethylene plastic containers
- Containers without tight lids
- Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
- Thin, semi-permeable wrap
Humidity Controlled Crispers
Using the Humidity Controlled Crispers

Smart Grid Function
When the refrigerator operates in Smart Grid mode, the Smart Refrigerator
function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions to
save energy during peak usage periods.
- You can override the Smart Grid function any time (using the Smart Grid button or application).
- To use the Smart Grid function, you need to register your appliance with your electric utility company, provided that your electric utility company supports the function. In other words, the Smart Grid function will not be available if your electric utility company does not support the function or does not have the capability to support the function.
Smart Grid Application Features
- Smart Saving_Demand Response
- You can lower energy usage based on Demand Response (DR) signals from the utility company. If the refrigerator is operating in Smart Saving mode according to the DR signal, you can see a pop up.
- Seasonal Energy Savings
- Lower energy usage based on time period.
Using the Smart Grid Function
This feature responds to notification events from your utility company to run
high energy consuming tasks during off-peak periods when demand is lower.
These notification events are known as Demand Response signals.
If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal from the utility
company, the refrigerator will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator
display and control its power consumption according to the signal. The
refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the utility company as
long as product performance is maintained.
If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal, the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) mode.
Delay Appliance Load (DAL)
The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load
reduction for the duration of the delay period.
This mode controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting
the cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.
- When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.
- DAL mode is automatically deactivated after the period stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4 hours) or when you override the Smart Grid function.
Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR)
The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load
for a short time period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces energy
consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that
consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.
- When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.
- TALR mode is automatically deactivated after the received duration (max. 10 minutes), or when you override the Smart Grid function. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to its normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.
Override Smart Grid Mode
To ignore the Demand Response signal from the utility company and override the
Smart Grid function, push the Smart Grid button while the refrigerator is in
Smart Grid mode.
When you override the Smart Grid function, the refrigerator ignores the Demand
Response signal and is no longer controlled by the utility company until the
next Demand Response signal is sent. You can also override the Smart Grid
function using the smart phone app.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
WARNING
- Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
CAUTION
- Do not use an abrasive cloth or sponge when cleaning the interior and exterior of the refrigerator.
- Do not place your hand on the bottom surface of the refrigerator when opening and closing the doors.
General Cleaning Tips
- Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically; however, clean both sections once a month to prevent odors.
- Wipe up spills immediately.
- Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning.
- Remove all removable parts, such as shelves.
- Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
- Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
Exterior
For products with black stainless steel exterior, spray glass cleaner on a
clean microfiber cloth and rub in direction of grain. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly at the display panel. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
For products with a standard stainless steel exterior, use a damp microfiber
cloth and rub in the direction of the grain. Dry with a paper towel to avoid
streaks. For stubborn stains and fingerprints, use a few drops of liquid dish
soap in water, and rinse with hot water before drying. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners.
Inside Walls
- Allow freezer to warm up so the cloth will not stick.
To help remove odors, wash the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is completely dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.
Door Liners and Gaskets
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not
use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing
petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.
Plastic Parts (Covers and Panels)
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not
use glass cleaners, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch
or damage the material.
