Interior Water Filtration System

(on some models)

The interior water filter cartridge is located in the upper corner of the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator. The interior water filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

Replacing the interior water filter cartridge

1.Twist the interior water filter cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the left. The INSTALL mark will be lined up with the indicator line located on the filter mounting bracket cover.

2.Gently pull down on the cartridge to remove it from the filter mounting bracket assembly. To prevent water from spilling inside the refrigerator, DO NOT TIP the cartridge. Dispose of the cartridge.

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.Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding

2 to 3 gallons (8 to12 liters) or approximately 6 to 7 minutes of water through the dispenser. This will clean the system and help clear air from the lines. 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 and Storage Bin/Bucket

(on some models - Accessory)

To turn the ice maker on/off:

The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shut-off arm located on the side of the ice maker.

1.To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up) position.

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

MAX

NORMAL

To increase ice production rate:

■Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, the ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 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.

■Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum ice production, the ice maker should produce approximately 10 to 14 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to MAX.

To remove and replace the ice bin:

1.Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear.

2.Lift the wire shut-off 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 shut-off arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly.

To care for ice storage bin:

1.Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

2.Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
