Style 2: Through the base grille filter
1.
Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille.
Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and
pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE:
There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may
occur.
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. See
illustration 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. Flush the water
system (see “Flushing the Water System After Replacing
Filter” later in this section).
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. For Style 1,
replace the base grille after removing the filter.
2.
For Style 2, slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter
cartridge. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP. 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. The
cartridge cap might not be even with the base grille.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket
(on some models - Accessory)
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:
■
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 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:
1.
Pull the covering panel out 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.
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 shutoff arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is
closed tightly.
To care for ice storage bin:
1.
Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE:
Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
2.
Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
