Water Dispenser
(on some models)
If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was
first installed, dispense water into a container until you draw and
discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or for approximately 6 to 7 minutes
after the water begins dispensing. The water you draw and
discard rinses the pipes. Allow several hours for the refrigerator
to cool down and chill water.
Dispensing Water
1.
Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the
button.
2.
Release the button to stop dispensing.
NOTE:
Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
Interior Water Filtration System
IMPORTANT:
■
You can run the water dispenser without a water filter
cartridge, but your water will not be filtered. If you choose this
option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.
■
The interior water filter mounting bracket is located on the
upper right side of the refrigerator.
■
The interior water filter cartridge should be replaced every 6
months or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser
or ice maker decreases noticeably.
Replacing the interior water filter cartridge
1.
Turn used filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter
head.
2.
Drain water from filter into the sink, and dispose. Wipe up
excess water in filter cover.
3.
Remove the sealing label from end of new filter and insert into
filter head. Gently rotate filter clockwise until filter stops, and
snap filter cover closed.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
4.
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.
5.
Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water
leaks, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
Ice Maker
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
NOTE:
Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
■
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.
■
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.
Increasing Ice Production Rate
The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 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.
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 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 on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
