CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after two minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.

Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and
has cooled for several hours, the ice maker
can start producing ice within 24 hours. The
ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear.
You must dispense some ice to force the ice
forward in the bin. Full bin should be expected
after 48 to 60 hours with no ice usage. Ice
rate is 2.3 lbs. per day. For extra capacity you
can add an ice maker kit for the freezer.
Turning the fresh food ice maker
on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off icon on the control panel. Press and
hold the Ice Off icon for three seconds to
turn the ice maker ON or OFF. If there is no
indicator, then the ice maker is ON.
1 Begin filling the filter by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the
water dispenser paddle.
2 Keep the
glass in this
position
until water
comes
out of the
dispenser.
It may take
about 1½
minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about three
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three
empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the
system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may
be discolored or have an odd flavor.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install
your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a
water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off
icon to Off and turn off the water supply
valve; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve
may make a loud chattering noise when
it attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker stops ice
production only.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in signal
bale arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full.
This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed
ice. This could occur in normal operation
of the ice maker. If you start seeing these
more frequently, it may be an indication of
low water pressure or the water filter needs
to be replaced. As the water filter nears the
end of its useful life and becomes clogged
with particles, less water is delivered to the
ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if
it’s been six months or longer since you last
changed your water filter, replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality household
water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
