Ice Maker and Storage Bin
■
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 use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
■
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or
storage bin.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin
has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on
the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. See the
following section for bin removal instructions.
■
To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
■
To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the
storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. The ice
maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the
control will remain in the ON (left) position.
Removing and Replacing the Ice Storage Bin
1. Press down the release lever and tilt the bucket outward. Use
both hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up
and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the
OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The
sensor cover (“flipper door”), located on the right wall of the
freezer door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the
door is open or the storage bin is removed.
2. Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door, then tilting it back
into an upright position. The release lever will click when the
bin is securely in place.
Delay Ice
Smart Grid Event notifications can affect ice production. For
information about the Delay Ice feature that is associated with
Smart Grid functionality, see “Smart Refrigerator Features.”
Water Filtration System
Water Filter Status Light
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter.
■
When the dispenser control panel’s water filter status display
changes to “ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to
change the water filter cartridge.
■
Replace the water filter cartridge when the water filter status
display changes to “REPLACE.”
NOTE: If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter
should be replaced at least every 6 months, depending on
your water quality and usage.
Resetting the Filter Status
■
After changing the water filter, reset the status light by
pressing and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds.
When the system is reset, the “ORDER” and “REPLACE”
icons will disappear from the display screen.

may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
