Over Temperature

IMPORTANT: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your food may spoil. See the “Power Interruptions.” Minimize door openings until temperatures return to normal.

The Over Temperature feature is designed to let you know when either the refrigerator temperature rises above 48°F (9°C) or the freezer temperature rises above 15°F (-9°C) for longer than

1¹⁄₂ hours. The audio alarm will shut off automatically when the temperature returns to normal, but the indicator light will continue to flash until the Alarm is pressed to let you know that an over temperature condition has occurred.

If the over temperature condition is still present when an Over Temperature Reset is performed, the indicator light will continue to reactivate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively.

NOTE: The audio alarm will be disabled for subsequent occurrences of over temperature alarm condition. To enable the audio alarm, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

Call Service

If the Call Service indicator light is flashing, call for service. See the “Assistance or Service” section for information on calling for service.

NOTE: The audio alarm will be disabled for subsequent occurrences of the call service alarm condition. To enable the audio alarm, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard two full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use, before using the ice.

Turn the Ice Maker On/Off

The ice maker On/Off control is located on the left-hand side of the ice bin.

1.To turn on the ice maker, slide the ice maker On/Off control to the ON (up) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the ice maker control will remain in the ON (up) position.

2.To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the ice maker On/Off control to the OFF (down) position as shown.

Ice Storage Bin Care

NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together in the ice bin. It is recommended that the ice bin be emptied and cleaned as needed.

To clean the ice storage bin:

1.Slide the ice bin out of the freezer and lift up and out.

2.Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.

NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

3.Wash ice bin with warm water and 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.

■It may take 3 to 4 days for the ice bin to completely fill, if no ice is used.

■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 inside the ice bin.

Water Filtration System

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Water Filter Indicator (on some models)

The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will help you know when to change the water filter.

A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement water filter should be ordered when “Order Filter” is displayed. It is recommended that you replace the filter when “Change Filter” is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing the Water Filter” later in this section.

After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for 2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.

Changing the Water Filter

The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to remove the filter.

1.Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling straight out on the filter cap.
