Precautions
Please do follow the below instructions.
- Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing sound over time. If this is the case, make sure to turn the ice making function (Cubed Ice / Ice Bites ) off.
- If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact the waterline installer or a local Samsung service center.
- 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 before using the refrigerator.
- Do not put fingers or any objects into the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or property damage.
- Due to sublimation, ice stored in the freezer for a long time gets smaller and then forms large ice chunks. Therefore, if it will be a long time before you use ice, turn the ice maker off as follows.
- Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.
