Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand 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.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) 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 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 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 (right) 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. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Water Filter Status Display (on some models)

The filter status display will help you know when to change your water filter. When the display reads 10%, order a new filter. It is recommended that you replace the filter when the display reads 0% OR when 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.

After changing the filter, reset the display by pressing the button. The display will read 99% 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

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 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.”

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

3.Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
