Replacing the Water Filter
To order visit www.everythingdacor.com or call Dacor Customer
Service at (800) 793-0093. Use replacement cartridge AFF3.
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water
and the filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the filter or the blue bypass cap.
1. Turn the filter counterclockwise to remove.
2. Remove the sealing label from the replacement filter and insert
the filter end into the filter head.
3. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover
closed.
4. Flush the water system. See Water Dispenser.
NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter
installed. Your water will not be filtered. If this option is chosen,
replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.
Automatic Ice Maker
IMPORTANT: Flush the water
system before turning on the ice
maker. See Water Dispenser.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
1. To turn the ice maker on, lower
the wire shutoff arm.
2. 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.
NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage
bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice
cubes from dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer
compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the
ice maker.
Ice Production Rate
The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice approx-
imately every 3 hours.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See Setting the Controls on page 3. Wait 24
hours between adjustments
NOTES:
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days
to completely fill the ice storage bin. Discard the 3 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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Refrigerator Operation
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Put a glass under the
water dispenser, then press and hold the water dispenser
button for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat
until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue
pressing and releasing the button (5 seconds on, 5 seconds
off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This
will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system,
and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may
be required in some households. As air is cleared from the
system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
To dispense water:
Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the water
dispenser button. Release the button to stop dispensing.
