Ice Maker and Storage Bin
■
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.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
■
To turn on the ice maker, lift open the ice maker door and lower the
wire shutoff arm to the ON position.
■
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 the Ice Storage Bin
1. Lift and hold open the ice maker door.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
Release the ice maker door.
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, lift open
the ice maker door and push the
wire shutoff arm down to the ON
position.
Water Filtration System
Water Filter Status Light
The filter status light will help you know when to change your water
filter. Depending on your model, the status light will appear as one of
the following icons:
■
The light will appear in yellow on the dispenser display screen when
it is almost time to change the filter.
■
It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status light
changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably.
NOTE: The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months
depending on your water quality and usage.
Resetting the Filter Status
■
After changing the filter, reset the filter status light by pressing
FILTER RESET.
The status light will turn off when the system is reset.
Changing the Water Filter
1. Locate the water filter cover door in the base grille, and pull open
the filter door. The filter will be released and then be ejected as the
door is opened.
2. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out.
NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.
3. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the cap. Be
sure the O-rings are still in place after the cap is removed.
4. With the arrow pointing to the left (toward the filter cover door’s
hinge), align the new filter with the filter housing and slide it into
place. The filter cover door will automatically begin to close as the
new filter is inserted.
5. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the filter into
place. You may need to press hard.
6. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
