6.Pull gently on the cap to check that the filter is securely in place.
NOTE: Flush the water system before ejecting a newly installed filter to clear air from the lines and filter.
7.Flush the water system. See "Flushing the Water System After Changing Filter."
Flushing the Water System After Changing Filter
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser lever 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.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter Cartridge
You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water will not be filtered.
1.Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling on
the cap. See "Changing the Water Filter" earlier in this section.
2.Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
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 a horizontal position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops.
Turn the cap counterclockwise until it slips into the attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a horizontal position. Some force may be required.
NOTE: The cap will not be even with the base grille.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.
1.Slide the control to the ON (left) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensor passes a beam from one freezer wall to the other, automatically stopping ice production when the storage bin is full. The control will remain in the ON (left) position.
2.To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the OFF (right) position.
Removing and Replacing the Storage Bin
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.
Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place.
Cleaning the Storage Bin | ..... |
Empty the storage bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.
NOTE: Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the storage bin and the dispenser mechanism.
2.Wash the storage bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Remember
•Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.
•Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
•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.
•It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners. They will break apart easily.
•Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the storage bin.
