Changing a water filter cartridge

The water filter is located below the freezer compartment door.

1.Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille below the freezer compartment door. Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille.

NOTE: There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may occur.

3.Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position as shown in Step 5. (See “Changing a water filter cartridge” earlier in this section.)

NOTE: The cartridge cap may not be even with the base grille.

Ordering replacement filters

To order more water filter cartridges, see the “Accessories” section in the “Assistance or Service” section.

2.Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP.

3.Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove protective cover from o-rings.

4.Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge as shown 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.

6.RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE WATER RUNS CLEAR (about 2 to 3 gal. or 6 to 7 minutes). This will clean the system and clear air from the lines. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

Using the dispenser without the water filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your water will not be filtered. If you run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge, keep the cartridge cap and replace it in the base grille for future use.

1.Remove the water filter cartridge (See “Changing a water filter cartridge” earlier in this section.) Then slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP.

2.With the cartridge cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops.

IceMaker andStorage Bin/Bucket

(onsome models -Accessory)

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.

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

To remove and replace the ice bin:

1.Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear.

2.Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.

3.Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

4.Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly.

To care for ice storage bin:

1.Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary. Never 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.
