The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be
caused by low water pressure.
� With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of
water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the
water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum
requirement.
� If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the
water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended.
See “Water Supply Requirements” or online “Troubleshooting”
for suggestions.
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.
Style 1
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch, located on the left wall of the freezer door, can
only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed.
See the following section for bin removal instructions.
� To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the On (up) position.
� To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the Off
(down) position.
NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the
storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes
will raise the shutoff arm to the Off (arm up) position. When the
storage bin is at full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop
ice production, but the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the
On (up) position.
Ice production Off (Shutoff
arm up)
Ice production On (Shutoff
arm down)
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, and then lift it
up and out.
A. Release lever
NOTE: It is not necessary to flip the ice maker On/Off switch
to the Off (down) position when removing the storage bin. The
storage bin sensor, located on the left wall (right wall on some
models) of the freezer door, stops the ice maker from
producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed.
