Ice Production Rate
■ The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice
approximately every 3 hours.
■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Remember
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice. Allow 3 days
to completely ll the ice storage bin. Discard the rst 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.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water lter, ush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds,
then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to
ow. Once water begins to ow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will ush
air from the lter and water dispensing system, and prepare
the water lter for use. Additional ushing may be required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid ooding. To
continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again.
■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
Dispensing Water
1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the
button.
2. Release the button to stop dispensing.
Water Filtration System
The water lter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status Lights
The water lter status lights will help you know when to change
the water lter. When the Order light is on, it is almost time to
change the water lter. When the Replace light is on, a new water
lter should be installed.
After replacing the water lter, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3
seconds until the Order or Replace light turns off. See “Using the
Controls.”
IMPORTANT: The disposable water lter should be replaced at
least every 6 months. If the water ow to the water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed,
replace the water lter more often.
Replacing the Water Filter
To purchase a replacement water lter, see Accessories.
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water
and lter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the lter or blue bypass cap.
1. Turn lter counterclockwise to remove.
2. Remove sealing label from replacement lter and insert the
lter end into the lter head.
3. Turn the lter clockwise until it stops. Snap the lter cover
closed.
4. Flush the water system. See “Water Dispenser” or “Water and
Ice Dispenser.”
NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water lter
installed. Your water will not be ltered. If this option is chosen,
replace the lter with the blue bypass cap.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
