Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

Style 1:

The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer

compartment.

To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)

position.

To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the

OFF (right) position.

Style 2:

The On/Off switch is located on the ice maker, behind the ice

maker cover door.

To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (top)

position.

To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the

OFF (bottom) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker

sensors will automatically stop ice production when the ice

storage bin is full or the freezer door is opened, but the control will

remain in the ON position.

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 bin or

bucket. 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 Ice Storage Bin

1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press

the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the

OFF position when removing the storage bin. The sensor

cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer stops the

ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage

bin is removed.

2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make

sure it is securely in place.

Water Filtration System

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of

unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or

after the system.

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. 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.

After changing the filter, reset the filter status light by pressing the

FILTER RESET button. 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 status light, you should

change the water filter every 6 months depending upon your

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

1. Press the eject button to release the filter from the base grille.

2. Pull the filter straight out.

3. Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it from the filter.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your

refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

4. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter and

turn the cap until it snaps into place.

NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water

will not be filtered. Simply insert the cap all of the way into the

base grille and rotate the cap until it is firmly in place.

5. Remove the protective covers from the O-rings. Be sure the

O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.

6. Push the filter into the base grille. The eject button will pop

back out when the filter is fully engaged.

7. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."
