Ŷ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the
glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Ŷ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected CUBED. This happens occasionally when a
few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
Ŷ After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip
from the chute.
Ŷ Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the
door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and
usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

the water filter is replaced
REMOVING THE FILTER
If you are replacing the filter,
first remove the previous one
by gently grasping the filter and
slowly turning it to the left,
about a ¼ turn. The filter

USING THE FREEZER: Automatic Icemaker
Automatic Icemaker
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to
begin making ice.

(-10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice cubes.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water line
connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to
an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that
the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been
connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be
turned on. See the table below for details.

fills with water.
To fill the bucket to maximum capacity after installation,
dispense 3-4 cubes at 12 hours and 18 hours. Allow 2-3
days for the bucket to completely fill with ice.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the
water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes
with the sweep of the
feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the
level of the feeler arm,
the ice maker will stop
producing ice. It is normal
for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
CAUTION

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
A cold water supply is required for automatic
ice maker operation. If there is not a cold water
supply, you will need to provide one. See
Installing the Water Line section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power
cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water
filter, we recommend installing one if your
water supply has sand or particles that
could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s
water valve. Install it in the water line near
the refrigerator. If using SmartConnect

ILOWHU'RQRWFXWSODVWLFWXEHWRLQVWDOOILOWHU
• Before connecting the water line to the house,
purge the house line for at least 2 minutes.
If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing coming from the house cold
water supply.
If you are using the SmartConnect
™
tubing, the
nuts are already assembled to the tubing.
If you are using copper tubing, insert the end
of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at
the back of the refrigerator, as far as possible.
While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using SmartConnect
™
tubing,
insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection, at the back of the
refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut
until it is hand tight. Then tighten one additional
turn with a wrench. Over tightening may cause
leaks.

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
The refrigerator water filter may require
replacement, even though the filter indicator
KDVQRWWXUQHGUHGRUUHDGV³)LOWHU([SLUHG´
758( The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water
filter every six months. Water quality varies from city to city; if water
flow from the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the
water filter should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may
not indicate the need for replacement.
The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will
produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged
in to a power receptacle.
MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker
must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after
the water line is connected and water is turned on. The ice maker
can be turned onoff from the controls and ensure the ice maker is
on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See Automatic Ice
Maker section in the full owner’s manual available online.
After the refrigerator has been plugged in and
connected to water, I will immediately have
unlimited chilled water available from the water
dispenser.
MYTH The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water
for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after
installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water
to chill.
After water dispenses, a few drops of water
are normal.

alarm is on.
When the refrigerator is installed, or after
replacing the water filter, I must dispense
water for five minutes.
758(
A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water
lines. Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at
least 5 minutes to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter.
To fill the ice bucket to the maximum capacity,
I should dispense 12 and 18 hours after
installation.
758( 'LVSHQVLQJFXEHVKRXUVDQGKRXUVDIWHULQVWDOODWLRQ
allows ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on
the ice maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100
