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.
4. 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.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
(on some models)
■
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 storage
bin. 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.
Style 1
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the
freezer compartment.
■
To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
■
To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF
(right) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will
remain in the ON (left) position.
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 (right) 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.
Style 2
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
■
To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
■
To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still
be dispensed, but no more can be made.
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. Do not force the wire
shutoff arm up or down.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin:
1. Pull the covering panel up 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.
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.
5. To restart ice production, push the wire shutoff arm down to the
ON position. Make sure the door is closed tightly.
