Ice Production Rate
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to completely
fill the ice storage bin.
• The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period.
• To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours between
adjustments.
Remember
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then
release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow.
Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing
the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of
4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter
and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for
use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
Dispense Ice and Water
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
IMPORTANT:
• The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice, or both
water and cubed ice.
Dispense water into containers that will not fit within the
dispenser area, such as sport bottles, by pressing the bottom
touch pad on the dispenser control panel.
The tray at the bottom of the dispenser area does not drain. It
is designed to collect small spills and is removable to empty or
clean.
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 bin. This
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
To dispense water or ice cubes:
1. Select water or cube ice by pressing the corresponding touch
pad on the dispenser control panel. A light above the touch
pad indicates your selection.
2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not
make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the container to stop dispensing.
