KitchenAid BUILT-IN REFRIGERATOR manual Ice Maker and Storage Bin

A new water filter should display a reading of 99% and will continue to decrease as the filter life is used. When display reads 10%, it is time to order a replacement filter. It is recommended that you replace the base grille water filter cartridge when the water filter indicator light changes to 0% OR when water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing the Base Grille Filter.”

After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter status light by pressing and holding the RESET button for

2 seconds. The indicator light will change to 99% when the filter indicator is reset.

Changing the Base Grille Filter

1.Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille. Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille.

NOTE: There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may occur.

2.Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right.

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

3.Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove protective cover from o-rings. Discard the protective cover.

4.Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge. See illustration in Step 2.

5.With cartridge cap handle in the vertical position, push the new filter cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Flush the water system. See “Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter.”

Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter

Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 6 qt. (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 3 to 4 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

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

1.Remove the base grille water filter cartridge.

2.Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. With the cartridge cap handle in the vertical position, insert the cartridge cap into the base grille 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.Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position. The cartridge cap might not be even with the base grille.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

(on some models - Accessory)

Style 1

To turn the ice maker on/off:

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

1.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.

2.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.

To increase ice production rate:

■In normal ice production, 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. Wait 24 hours between each increase.
