IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the 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 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. Discard the first three batches of ice produced after replacing the filter.

1.To turn on the ice maker, 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 off the ice maker, 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.

Using the Ice Maker Without the Water Filter

You can run the ice maker without a water filter cartridge. Your ice 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 in the vertical position, insert the 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

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.

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.

To care for ice storage bin:

1.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.

2.Wash ice 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.

■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 force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

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

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