Changing the Water Filter

1. Locate the water filter in the top-right corner of the

refrigerator compartment.

2. Lift open the filter cover door. The filter will be released and

then be ejected as the door is opened.

3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight

out.

NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling

may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.

4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the cap.

Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the cap is

removed.

5. With the arrow pointing up, align the new filter with the

filter housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will

automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted.

6. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the

filter into place. You may need to press hard.

7. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

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.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage

bin has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door,

on the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin.

See the following section for bin removal instructions.

■ To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)

position.

■ To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the

OFF (right) position.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the

storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. The ice

maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the

control will remain in the ON (left) position.

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, then lift it up

and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the

OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The

sensor cover (“flipper door”), located on the right wall of the

freezer door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the

door is open or the storage bin is removed.

2. Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door, then tilting it

back into an upright position. The release lever will click

when the bin is securely in place.
