Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
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.
Never 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. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is
closed tightly.

Water and Ice Dispensers
(on some models)
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until
you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water, or for
approximately 6 to 7 minutes. The water you draw and discard
rinses the pipes.
Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.
To dispense water:
1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
REMEMBER:
Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
You should change the water filter cartridge every 6 to
9 months depending on your usage. The base grille water filter
is located below the freezer compartment door. Rotate the
cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
and filter cartridge out through the base grille. There will be
water in the cartridge. Some spilling may occur.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered until you get a replacement water filter
cartridge. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter
cartridge and replace cap in the base grille.
The Ice Dispenser
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is
open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer
when the dispenser lever is pressed.
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice,
a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock
option to avoid accidental dispensing.
NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice.
Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.
For cubed ice, press the CUBE button until the red indicator
appears in the window above the button.
For crushed ice, press the CRUSH button until the red
indicator appears in the window above the button.
