connections of any impurities (stopping to empty
the glass as necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
Aftertherefrigeratorisinstalledproperlyandhas
cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce
ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin
from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force
the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill
completely.
Turning the fresh food ice maker on and off
Iceproductioniscontrolledbytheicemaker’sOn/Off
icon on the control panel. Press and hold the Ice Off
icon for three seconds to turn the ice maker ON or OFF.
If there is no indicator, then the ice maker is ON.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work
as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot
connectawatersupply,settheicemaker’sOn/Officon
to Off and turn off the water supply valve; otherwise, the

CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi
and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts
off the water flow after three minutes of continuous
use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bale
arm that automatically stops ice production when the
ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will result in existing ice
melting in the bin.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice
dispenser. You will still be able to dispense water.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime
thewatersupplysystem.Airinnewplumbinglines
can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice
cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be
noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could
occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start
seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication
of low water pressure or the water filter needs to
bereplaced.Asthewaterlternearstheendofits
useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less
water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.
Remember,ifit’sbeensixmonthsorlongersinceyou
last changed your water filter, replace the water filter
with a new one. Poor quality household water may
require the filter to be changed more frequently.

• Keepthefreshfoodcompartmentbetween34°F
and40°Fwithanoptimumtemperatureof37°F.
• Avoidovercrowdingtherefrigeratorshelves,
which reduces air circulation and causes uneven

Fruits and vegetables
• Storefruitsandvegetablesincrisperdrawers,
where trapped moisture helps preserve food
quality for longer time periods.
• Washitemsandremoveexcesswater.
• Wrapanyitemsthathavestrongodorsorhigh

Meat
• Wraprawmeatandpoultryseparatelyand
securely to prevent leaks and contamination of
other foods or surfaces.
• UsetheCoolZonedrawerorPerfect Temp
TM
drawer and set to meat/poultry setting for short-
termstorage.Anymeattobekeptlongerthan
two days should be frozen.
Frozen food storage
• Keepthefreezercompartmentat0°Forlower.
• Afreezeroperatesmostefcientlywhenitisat
least full.
Packaging foods for freezing
• Tominimizefooddehydrationandquality
deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap,
freezer bags, or airtight containers. Force as
much air out of the packages as possible and
seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to
dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor
(freezer burn).
• Wrapfreshmeatsandpoultrywithsuitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
• Donotrefreezemeatthathascompletely
thawed.
Loading the freezer
• Priortogroceryshopping,activatefast freeze
so that on your return you can ensure your newly
purchased food designated for the freezer will be
preserved as quickly as possible.
• Activatingfast freeze also will help your
freezer more efficiently maintain the selected
temperature after placing new purchases with
pre-existing frozen foods.
Storing Food and Saving Energy
• Avoidaddingtoomuchwarmfoodtothefreezer
at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the
rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of
frozen foods.
• Leaveaspacebetweenpackages,socoldair
can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as
quickly as possible.
Ideas for saving energy
Installation
• Locatetherefrigeratorinthecoolestpartof
the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from
heating ducts or registers.
• Donotplacetherefrigeratornexttoheat-
producing appliances such as a range, oven, or
dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of
cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between
the two appliances will help the refrigerator
operate more efficiently.
• Leveltherefrigeratorsothatthedoorsclose
tightly.
Temperature settings
• RefertotheControls section for procedures on
temperature settings.
Food storage
• Avoidovercrowdingtherefrigeratororblocking
cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to
run longer and use more energy.
• Coverfoodsandwipecontainersdrybefore
placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down
on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organizetherefrigeratortoreducedoor

D Automatic ice maker When ice has been
produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the
ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and
refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its
operation.
E Electronic control & automatic defrost control
These parts can produce a snapping or clicking
sound when turning the cooling system on and
off.
F Condenser fan You may hear air being forced
through the condenser.
G Compressor Modern, high-efficiency
compressors run much faster than older models.
The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or
pulsating sound.
H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it
opens to fill the ice maker.
I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water
dripping into the drain pan during the defrost
cycle.
J Condenser May create minimal sounds from
forced air.

Replacing your PureAdvantage
TM
water filter
In general, you should change the water filter every six
months to ensure the highest possible water quality. The
Water Filter Status light on the Touch Panel prompts
you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water
(400 gallons)
has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of
time (during moving for example), change the filter
before reinstalling the refrigerator.
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to
change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small
amounts of water released during the filter replacement.
1 Turn Off the ice maker on the control panel.
2 Push the filter release button above the cartridge
to disconnect it.
3 Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of
the housing and discard it.
4 Unpack the new filter cartridge and remove the
two protective caps covering the inlet and exit of
the filter. Slide the filter gently into the housing
until it stops against the snap-in connector at the
back of the housing.
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.

Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call...
If you experience a problem with your refrigerator or notice a product behavior or condition that you do not
understand, you can usually avoid a call to your service representative by referring to this section for an answer.
Beginning with the following table, this information includes common concerns, causes, and suggested solutions.
Automatic Ice Maker
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Ice maker is not making
any ice.
• Ice maker is turned off.
• Refrigerator is not connected to water line or
water valve is not open.
• The water supply line is kinked.
• The water filter is not seated properly.
• The water filter may be clogged with foreign
material.
• Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or
restricted by foreign material.
• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press
and hold the Ice Off button for four seconds until the
indicator turns off. For the freezer ice maker, lower the
wire signal arm.
• Connect the unit to the household water supply and
ensure the supply valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrig-
erator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to push
the filter firmly so that you hear it lock solidly into posi-
tion.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is six
months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. En-
sure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
Ice maker is not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing less ice than you
expect.
• The water filter may be clogged with foreign
material.
• The water supply line is kinked.
• Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or
restricted by foreign material.
• The fresh food and freezer ice makers will each produce
approximately 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is
six months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrig-
erator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. En-
sure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
Freezer ice maker will not
stop making ice.
• Ice maker wire signal arm is being held down
by some package in the freezer that has fallen
against the ice maker.
• Move the item and release wire signal arm. Remove any
ice cubes that may have frozen together over the wire
signal arm.
Ice cubes are freezing
together.
• Ice cubes are not being used frequently
enough.
• Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water
inside). The hollow cubes break open in the
bin and leak their water onto existing ice,
which causes it to freeze together.
• Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will
produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice
weekly to keep the cubes separated.
• This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get
enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged
water filter. Replace the water filter.
