Water Filtration System - KitchenAid KBSD602ESS-SS Use And Care Manual

Remember
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days
■
to completely fill ice container.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
■
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
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.
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.
■
They will break apart easily.
For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or
■
down.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
■
storage bin/bucket.

Water Filtration System

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
Water Filter Indicator (on some models)
The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will help
you know when to change the water filter.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading
in the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement
water filter should be ordered when "Order Filter" is displayed. It
is recommended that you replace the filter when "Change Filter"
is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or
ice maker decreases noticeably. See "Changing the Water Filter"
later in this section.
NOTE: Dispenser models have a filter reset on the freezer
compartment door. Non-Dispenser models have a Good/Order
Filter/Replace Filter indicator.
After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for
2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.
Changing the Water Filter
The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille
to remove the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the filter cap.
NOTES:
Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because
■
this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs,
replace the cap and pull the filter straight out.
