Ice Maker and Water Filtration System
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
IMPORTANT: Use the Ice On touch pad on the control panel to
turn the ice maker on or off. Do not adjust the wire arm located
on the ice maker.
Press and hold the Ice On touch pad for 3 seconds to turn the
ice maker ON. The indicator will light up.
Press and hold the Ice On touch pad for 3 seconds to turn the
ice maker OFF.
NOTE:
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will only be 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 store anything in the ice storage bin.
Water Filtration System
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
Water Filter Indicator / Reset Filter
The water filter indicator will help you know when to change your
water filter cartridge. The indicator will change from dark to
yellow when it is time to order a new filter. The indicator will then
change from yellow to red when it is time to replace the filter
cartridge. The filter cartridge should be replaced at least every
6 months depending on your water quality and usage.
After replacing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter
indicator.
Press and hold the Reset Filter touch pad for 3 seconds. The
indicator light will turn from red to dark.
(on Refrigerator/Freezer Drawers andDouble Freezer Drawers only)
Changing the Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located through the base grille. You
do not have to remove the base grille in order to change the
water filter cartridge.
1. Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille.
Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and
pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE: There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may
occur.
2. Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old
cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove cover
from O-rings.
4. Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge. See
illustration in Step 2.
5. With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new filter
cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge
cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Flush the water
system. See "Flushing the Water System After Replacing
Filter" later in this section.
Using the Ice Maker Without the Water Filter
You can run the ice maker without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered.
1. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. With
the cartridge cap in the horizontal position, insert the cap into
the base grille until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
