REMEMBER:
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■
The quality of your ice will only be 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 store anything in the ice storage bin.
Water Filtration System
Water Filter Indicator / Reset Filter
The water filter indicator will help you know when to change your
water filter. The indicator will change from dark to yellow when it is
time to order a new filter. The indicator will then change from
yellow to red when it is time to replace the water filter. The
disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months.
After replacing the water filter, reset the water filter indicator.
■
Press and hold the RESET FILTER touch pad for 3 seconds.
The indicator light will turn from red to dark.
Changing the Water Filter
The water filter is located through the base grille. You do not have
to remove the base grille in order to change the water filter.
1. Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the
cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
and water filter out through the base grille.
NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur.
2. Remove the filter cap by sliding it off the end of the old filter.
The cap will slide to the left or right.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Take the new water filter out of its packaging and remove the
cover from the O-rings.
4. Slide the filter cap onto the new water filter. See the illustration
in Step 2.
5. With the filter cap in the vertical position, insert the new filter
into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge cap
clockwise to a horizontal position.
Using the Ice Maker Without the Water Filter
You can run the ice maker without a water filter. Your water will not
be filtered.
1. Slide the filter cap off the end of the water filter. With the filter
cap in the horizontal position, insert the 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 a replacement filter.
REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS
CARE
Cleaning
The drawers defrost automatically. However, clean both drawers
about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills
immediately.
To clean your refrigerator drawers:
1. Hand wash, rinse, and dry interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
■
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and drawer liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
■
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g
to 0.95 L] of water).
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
