Power Outage Indicator (on some models)
The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to your refrigerator is cut off for more than 1 hour.
When power is restored, a power outage alert will appear on the display screen. The display shows how long the refrigerator was without power, using exact times if the clock has been set.

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