also turn off the water supply valve.

cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, particularly before
you take a vacation or move.
caution - chemicals from a malfunctioning water
softener can damage the ice maker. if the water
supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the
softener is maintained to work properly.
To clean the ice maker:
1
Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker's off/on switch.
2
Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3
Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse
with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4
Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5
Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door
chute.
6
Replace the ice bin. Press the ice maker's off/on switch to
resume ice production.
remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes
in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as
explained above.
caution - neVer use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. this could damage
the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
imPortant - When removing or
replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate
the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is
accidentally rotated, you must realign
the auger by turning it in 90 degree turns
(see below) until the ice bin fits into place
with the drive mechanism. if the auger is
not properly aligned when replacing the
ice bin, the refrigerator will only dispense
Crushed Ice. The freezer door may also
not close properly causing warm air to
leak into the freezer.

locating the filters

Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and air filtering systems.
The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the
water used to produce ice. The air filter removes odors and impurities
from the refrigerator compartment.
