3. Install the new interior water filter cartridge. You can run the
dispenser without a water filter cartridge, but your water will
not be filtered.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
■
Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its
packaging. Remove the red cap from the cartridge.
■
Apply the appropriate month sticker to the cartridge as a
reminder to replace the cartridge within six months. Then
apply the “Water Filter Replacement Reminder” sticker to
your calendar as a reminder to replace the cartridge in six
months.
4. Line up the INSTALL mark on the water filter label with the
indicator line that is molded into the filter mounting bracket
cover. Push the cartridge into the filter mounting bracket.
Twist the cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the right to lock it into place. The
REMOVE mark should be lined up with the indicator line
located on the front cover.
5. Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar
until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by
dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water.
Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes
and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be
required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.
6. Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water
leaks, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket
(on some 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 increase ice production rate:
■
Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, the
ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice
in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn
the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half
number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to
between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours between each increase.
■ Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum ice
production, the ice maker should produce approximately 10
to 14 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator
has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch
to MAX.
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.
NOTE: 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.
REMEMBER:
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■
Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
■
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.
■
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.
They will break apart easily.
■
Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
■
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
