Ice Maker
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
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. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
Ice Production Rate
■The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice approximately every 3 hours.
■To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours between adjustments.
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.
Dispensing Water
1.Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the button.
2.Release the button to stop dispensing.
Water Filtration System
The water filter is located in the upper
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
Water Filter Status Light
The water filter status light will help you know when to change the water filter. When the yellow (Order) light is on, it is almost time to change the water filter. When the red (Replace) light is on, a new water filter should be installed. See “Water Filtration System.”
After replacing the water filter, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds until the Order or Replace light turns off.
Water Dispenser
(on some models)
IMPORTANT:
■After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system. Press the button on the dispenser for
5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser button (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
NOTE: After five minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again.
■Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
