• More than one mode cannot be selected at one time.
• The ice making time as shown above is only a rough indication
at the ambient temperature of 30°C, the temperature
adjustment set to Med, Energy saving turned off, and with no
opening or closing of the doors.
Ice making right after changing the mode
• The first batch of ice cubes made right after changing the
operating mode does not reflect the change in size or clarity.
This is because there are still half-made ice cubes left in the
ice tray when switching to the changed mode. Ice cubes of the
2nd batch or later will reflect the mode change.
