3.Install the new interior water filter cartridge. You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge, but your water will not be filtered.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
■Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its packaging. Remove the red cap from the cartridge.
■Apply the appropriate month sticker to the cartridge as a reminder to replace the cartridge within six months. Then apply the “Water Filter Replacement Reminder” sticker to your calendar as a reminder to replace the cartridge in six months.
4.Line up the INSTALL mark on the water filter label with the indicator line that is molded into the filter mounting bracket cover. Push the cartridge into the filter mounting bracket.
Twist the cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the right to lock it into place. The REMOVE mark should be lined up with the indicator line located on the front cover.
5.Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
6.Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water leaks, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
Ice Maker
(on some models - Accessory)
Turning the Ice Maker on/off
■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.
ICE PLUS
NORMAL
Increasing 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.
■ICE PLUS Ice Production (on some models): In Ice Plus 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 ice plus ice production feature, push the switch to ICE PLUS.
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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.
