Ice Maker and Storage Bin
IMPORTANT:
Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See
"Water and Ice Dispensers."
The ice maker and storage bin are located in the upper left-
hand side of the refrigerator compartment.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. When the ice maker is
on, sensors will automatically stop ice production when the
storage bin is full. The ice maker will remain set to ON, and ice
production will resume when the bin is no longer full.
To manually turn off the ice maker, press the ice maker icon or
OPTIONS on the main display screen, then ICE MAKER. On the
next screen, press ICE MAKER again to toggle between ON and
OFF. When the ice maker is set to OFF, it will stop producing ice.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
To Remove the Ice Storage Bin:
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn off the ice maker when removing
the storage bin.
1. Pull the handle to unlock the ice storage bin.
2. Hold both sides of the ice storage bin, tilt the bin forward and
lift slightly to remove.
To Replace the Ice Storage Bin:
IMPORTANT: The ice storage bin must be locked in place for
proper ice dispensing.
1. Replace the ice storage bin on the door.
2. Pivot the bin so that it is firmly in place, and push back to
assure that it is secure.
Ice Production Rate
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The ice maker should produce approximately 40 batches of
ice in a 24-hour period.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Remember
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 bin. This
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Water Filter Status Light
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. When the water filter status display changes from
"NORMAL" to "ORDER," this tells you that it is almost time to
replace the water filter. Replace the disposable water filter when
the water filter status display changes to "REPLACE." The
REPLACE (red) icon will blink and an alert beep will sound one
time after water is dispensed.
If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases
noticeably, change the filter sooner. The disposable water filter
should be replaced at least every 6 months or more often
depending on your water quality and usage. To change the filter,
see "Water Filtration System."
INDICATOR:
NORMAL (green)
ORDER (yellow)
REPLACE (red) OR

After changing the water filter, reset the status light. On the display
screen, press OPTIONS, then WATER FILTER, then RESET, then
YES. The status light will change from REPLACE (red) to NORMAL
(green) when the system is reset.

Water Filtration System

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
IMPORTANT: The disposable water filter should be replaced at
least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed,
replace the water filter more often.
