5. Push the new filter into the opening in the base grille. As the
filter is inserted, the eject button will depress. The eject
button will pop back out when the filter is fully engaged.
6. Pull gently on the cap to check that the filter is securely in
place.
7. Flush the water system. See "Flushing the Water System
After Changing Filter."
Flushing the Water System After Changing Filter
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser lever until
the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing
and discarding 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water. Cleaning the system will
take approximately 3 minutes and will help clear air from the line.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter Cartridge
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling on
the cap. See "Changing the Water Filter" earlier in this
section.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. With the cap in a horizontal position, insert the cap into the
base grille until it stops.
Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the
attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a
horizontal position.
NOTE: The cap will not be even with the base grille.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
REMEMBER:
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.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
1. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is
closed tightly.
