After Changing Filter."
Flushing the Water System After Changing Filter
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the
water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for
5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins
to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever
(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This
will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.
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 Cartridge
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling on
the cap. See "Changing the Water Filter" earlier in this
section.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise 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. With the cap in a horizontal position, insert the cap into the
base grille until it stops.

Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the
attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a
horizontal position.
NOTE: The cap will not be even with the base grille.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1. Slide the control to the ON (left) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensor passes a beam from one freezer wall to the other,
automatically stopping ice production when the storage bin is
full. The control will remain in the ON (left) position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make
sure it is securely in place.
Cleaning the Storage Bin
Empty the storage bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE: Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
storage bin. This can cause damage to the storage bin and
the dispenser mechanism.
2. Wash the storage bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
