Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, 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.
Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin or
bucket. 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 ice bin or
bucket.
Water Dispenser
(on some models)
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
IMPORTANT:
If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was
first installed, dispense water into a container until you draw
and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or for approximately 6 to 7
minutes after the water begins dispensing. The water you
draw and discard rinses the pipes.
Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.
Dispensing Water
There are two water dispenser buttons as shown for use with
different sizes of containers.
1. Press a glass against the back button or hold a container
under the dispenser while pressing the front button.
2. Remove the glass or release the front button to stop
dispensing.
REMEMBER:
Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
You should change the interior water filter cartridge, located in
the upper corner of the fresh food compartment, every 6 to 9
months depending on your usage. If the water flow to the
water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6
months have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more
often.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered until you get a replacement water filter
cartridge.
