Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

To Remove the Ice Storage Bin:

1.Pull the handle to unlock the ice storage bin.

To Replace the Ice Storage Bin:

IMPORTANT: The ice storage bin must be locked in place for proper ice dispensing.

1.Replace the ice storage bin on the door.

2.Pivot the bin so that it is firmly in place, and push back to assure that it is secure.

Ice Production Rate

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

The ice maker should produce approximately 40 batches of ice in a 24-hour period.

To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Remember

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 use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

Water Filter Status Light

The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. When the water filter status display changes from “NORMAL” to “ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to replace the water filter. Replace the disposable water filter when the water filter status display changes to “REPLACE.” The REPLACE (red) icon will blink and an alert beep will sound one time after water is dispensed.

If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage. To change the filter, see “Water Filtration System.”

Water Filtration System

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.

IMPORTANT: The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT:

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools that may scratch or damage the materials.
