Style 2:
The On/Off switch is located on the ice maker, behind the ice
maker cover door.
■ To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (top)
position.
■ To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the
OFF (bottom) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production when the ice
storage bin is full or the freezer door is opened, but the control
will remain in the ON position.
REMEMBER:
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
■ 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 or
bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage
bin.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press
the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the
OFF position when removing the storage bin. The sensor
cover (“flipper door”) on the left wall of the freezer stops the
ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the
storage bin is removed.
2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make
sure it is securely in place.
Water Filtration System
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The water filter status light and display screen help you know
when to change your water filter. The filter should be replaced at
least every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage.
Press the FILTER button to check the status of your water filter.
If the filter is new:
You must press FILTER to view the filter’s status. For a few
seconds, the status light will be blue and the display screen will
show what percentage of your filter’s life remains.
If it is almost time to change the filter:
The status light will automatically illuminate and will remain on,
appearing yellow. The words “ORDER FILTER” will appear on the
display screen. Press FILTER to see what percentage of your
filter’s life remains. You should order the appropriate replacement
filter. See “Accessories.”
If it is time to change the filter:
The status light will remain on, changing to red. The words
“REPLACE FILTER” and “HOLD BUTTON TO RESET” will appear
on the display screen until the filter has been changed and the
status light has been reset.
To reset the water filter status light:
After changing the filter, reset the status light by pressing and
holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds. The status light will
blink red and change to blue, then turn off when the system is
reset.
Non-Indicator Water Filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you
should change the water filter cartridge at least every 6 months
depending on your water quality and usage. If the water flow to
the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before
6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.
Changing the Water Filter
1. Press the eject button to release the filter from the base grille.
2. Pull the filter straight out.
3. Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it from the filter.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
4. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter and
turn the cap until it snaps into place.
NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water
will not be filtered. Simply insert the cap all of the way into the
base grille and rotate the cap until it is firmly in place.
5. Remove the protective covers from the O-rings. Be sure the
O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.
6. Push the filter into the base grille. The eject button will pop
back out when the filter is fully engaged.
7. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
