Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter
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.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered.
1. Remove the base grille water filter cartridge.
2. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. With
the cartridge cap handle in the vertical position, insert the
cartridge cap into the base grille 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. Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position. The
cartridge cap might not be even with the base grille.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
(on some models - Accessory)
Style 1
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:
■
In normal ice production, 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. Wait 24 hours between each
increase.
To remove and replace the ice bin:
1. Flip up the covering panel.
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 the ice bin forward.
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.
Style 2
To turn the ice maker on/off:
The on/off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1. To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)
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.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
To remove and replace the 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.
