IMPORTANT:
• After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water
system. Press the “WATER” touch pad on the control panel. Use a
sturdy container to depress and hold the dispenser lever for five
seconds, then release it for five seconds. Repeat until water begins
to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser lever (five seconds on, five seconds off) for an
additional five minutes until a total of 4 gal. (15L) has been
dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing
system. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As
air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
Note:
After five minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will
stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing,
remove the container and press the dispensing lever again.
• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first
three batches of ice produced.
Dispense Ice and Water
• The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.
• The EASY FILL control allows you to fill containers that will not fit
within the dispenser area, such as sport bottles.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
To Remove the Ice Storage Bin:
1. Hold the base of the storage bin and press the release button on
the lower right.
2. Pull the storage bin out until resistance is felt. Lift up the front of the
ice bin and remove.
3. Press the switch to the “OFF” position.
To Replace the Ice Storage Bin:
IMPORTANT:
It may be necessary to turn the auger driver, behind the
ice bin, counterclockwise to properly align the ice bin with the auger
driver. The ice storage bin must be locked in place for proper ice
dispensing.
1. Press the switch to the “ON” position.
2. Slide the ice bin into the guide rails located
on either side of the enclosure.
3. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt.
Raise the front slightly and push the ice bin
in until an audible “click” is heard.
Ice Production Rate
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of
ice. Discard the first three batches of ice
produced.
• The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice
in a 24-hour period.
• To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature.
See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours between
adjustments.
Remember
• 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.
