Water Filter Status Light
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter.

display changes to "ORDER," this tells you that it is almost
time to change the water filter cartridge.
Replace the water filter cartridge when the water filter
status display changes to "REPLACE."
NOTE: If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter
should be replaced at least every 6 months, depending on
your water quality and usage.

The "ORDER" status begins at 40 gal. (151 L) remaining, and

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.
