Remember
• 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 the 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 bin. This
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
•
DO NOT
store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
• After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the
water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress
and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5
seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow,
continue depressing and releasing the dispenser paddle (5 seconds on,
5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will
flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the
water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some
households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
Note:
After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will
stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, press
the dispenser paddle again.
• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
Dispensing Water
1. Hold a container under the dispenser spout
while pressing the dispenser pad.
2. Release the dispenser pad to stop
dispensing.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker
ON
, simply
lower the wire shutoff arm. To
manually turn the ice maker
OFF
, lift
the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF
(arm
up) position and listen for the click.
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.
Auto Ice Storage Bin
Your ice storage bin has a lever which allows the storage bin to slide
out with the drawer when it is pulled open or to stay in place.
• Move the lever to the right to attach the ice storage bin to the
freezer drawer.
• Move the lever to the left to release the ice storage bin from the
freezer drawer.
Ice Production Rate
• The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice
approximately every 3 hours.
• To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature.
See “Using the Controls” section.
Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
