Ice Dispensing "tips

Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though cubed ice was selected. This happens occasionally

when a few cubes are accidentally channeled into the crusher,

. Likewise, when changing from crushed ice to cubes,

some crushed ice may be dispensed. This may also happen if irregular sized cubes or ice chips are in the

storage bin.

If the ice dispenser is not used frequently, ice cubes may clump together and may need to be broken apart or discarded,

A slight pause may be noticed when dispensing

Water Filter (certain models)

The water filter mounts in the upper fresh food corn- partment, on the underside of the Dual CoolTM control housing. Change the filter cartridge every 6 months, or sooner, if the water flow to the dispenser or icemaker decidedly decreases or if an objectionable taste or odor returns,

Your refrigerator was delivered from the factory with a filter bypass in place. The filter cartridge can be found packaged inside of the refrigerator. It can be easily installed without using any additional parts, screws or

fasteners.

Note: The ice and water dispenser and the icemaker should not be operated unless either the filter bypass

or a filter is in place.

crushed ice. This is normal because the ice is being

channeled to the crusher. Crushed ice pieces will vary in size and shape.

Do not add ice to the storage bin which was not pro- duced by your ice maker, it may not crush and/or dis-

pense properly.

Avoid operating the ice dispenser continuously for more than five minutes. Simply remove large quanti- ties from the bin by hand.

Avoid dispensing ice directly into fine china or dell- cat° crystal. The pressure of pressing against the actuator pad and the ice dropping into the container

can cause cracking or chipping of delicate items.

InitialFilterCartridge Installation

Note: Leave the refrigerator door open while removing and installing filters or plugs; this will pre- vent water from flowing through the system and run- ning into the fresh food compartment. As an added precaution, turn off the ice maker by moving the wire lever arm into the up (OFF) position.

1.Twist the cap of the filter bypass 1/4 turn counter- clockwise (as viewed from the bottom) so the ears on the plug can disengage. Remove the filter bypass from the filter bead apparatus.

Do Not dispose of this filter bypass. It should be ] stored for future use, in the event that you choose to I use the water and ice dispenser without a filter.

2.Carefully remove the filter from its packaging.

3.Apply the month sticker to the cartridge as a reminder to replace the filter within six months.

4.Remove the red cap from the filter.

5.Lubricate the O-ring with food grade vegetable oil.

6.Line up the cartridge ears so it can be inserted into the filter head. The unlocked symbol will line up with the indicator line that is molded into the light shield area. Rotate the cartridge into the head. Twist the cartridge 1/4 turn clockwise to lock it into place. You will feel a stop and the locked symbol should now be lined up with the indicator line.

7.Lower the icemaker wire lever arm into the down (ON) position.

8.Dispense water through the dispenser for 10 minutes.
