Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

 

Remember

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered.

1.Remove the base grille water filter.

2.Slide the cap off the end of the filter.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

3.With the cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops.

4.Rotate the cap to a horizontal position.

Ice Maker

(on some models - Accessory)

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

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.

To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

OptimIce

NORMAL

Ice Production Rate

NORMAL Ice Production: In Normal ice production mode, the ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

OptimIce Production (on some models): In OptimIce ice production mode, the ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the OptimIce ice production feature, push the switch to OptimIce.

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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all models. If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please call the toll-free number on the cover or in the “Assistance or Service” section.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Refrigerator Shelves

Your model may have glass or wire shelves. Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves energy.

Slide-out Shelves (on some models)

To Remove and Replace a Shelf in a Metal Frame:

1.Pull the shelf forward to the stop. Tilt the front of the shelf up and lift it slightly as you pull the shelf from the frame.

2.Replace the shelf by guiding it back into the slots on the frame and pushing the shelf in past the stop.
