Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
• To turn on the ice maker, lift open the ice maker door and
lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON position.
• To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still
be dispensed, but no more can be made.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
REMEMBER:
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals
(such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to
poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided,
make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well
maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or
storage bin.
Removing and Replacing the Ice Storage Bin
1. Lift and hold open the ice maker door.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
Release the ice maker door.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4.
5.
Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way, or the dispenser
will not work.
To restart ice production, lift open the ice maker door and
push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position.
F t '
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
• It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status
light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably.
The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending
on your water quality and usage.
Resetting the Filter Status
• The reset button is located on the control panel in the
refrigerator compartment. To reset the status light after
changing the filter, press the button 5 times within
10 seconds. The status light will change from red to green
when the system is reset.
Non-Indicator Water Filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you
should change the water filter cartridge at least every 6 months
depending on your water quality and usage. If the water flow to
the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before
6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.
Changing the Water Filter
A. Waterfilter cover door
1. Locate the water filter cover door in the base grille, and pull
open the filter door. The filter will be released and then be
ejected as the door is opened.
2. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out.
3.
4.
NOTE: There may be some water inthe filter. Some spilling
may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.
Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the covers
from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the
covers are removed.
With the arrow pointing to the left (toward the filter cover
door's hinge), align the new filter with the filter housing and
slide it into place. The filter cover door will automatically begin
to close as the new filter is inserted.
5. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the filter
into place. You may need to press hard.
6. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The filter status light will help you know when to change your
water filter.
• The light will change from green to yellow. This tells you that it
is almost time to change the filter.
