2. Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old
cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right. DO NOT
DISCARD THE CAP.
3. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove
protective cover from o-rings.
4. Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge as shown
above in Step 2.
5. With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new filter
cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge
cap clockwise to a horizontal position.
6. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding
2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 liters or approximately 6 to 7 minutes)
of water through the dispenser. This will clean the system and
help clear air from the lines. 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. If you run the dispenser without a water
filter cartridge, keep the cartridge cap and replace it in the base
grille for future use.
1. Remove the base grille water filter cartridge (See “Changing a
base grille water filter cartridge” earlier in this section.) Then
slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. DO
NOT DISCARD THE CAP.
2. With the cartridge cap in the vertical position, insert the cap
into the base grille until it stops.
3. Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position as shown in
step 5.
NOTE: The cartridge cap may not be even with the
base grille.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket
(on some models - Accessory)
To turn the ice maker on/off: (Style 1)
The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shut-off arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice
cubes will raise the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up)
position.
2. To manually turn the icemaker off, lift the wire shut-off 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:
■
Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, 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 in half
number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to
between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually
turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24
hours between each increase.
■
Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum
ice production, the ice maker should produce approximately
10 to 14 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator
has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to
MAX.
To remove and replace the ice bin: (Style 1)
1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.
2. Lift the wire shut-off 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 it out.
4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work. Push the wire shut-off arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is
closed tightly.
