A water filter may need to be installed to
eliminate taste and odor problems.
NOTE: In some cases, a filter may not help. It
may not be possible to remove all minerals /
odor / taste in all water supplies.
Discard the first few batches of ice to avoid
discolored or bad tasting ice.
Ice that has been stored for too long will shrink,
become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste.
Throw away old ice and make a new supply.
Rewrap the food. Odors may migrate to the ice if
food is not wrapped properly.
See the Care and Cleaning section for more
information.
Make sure that the bin is completely dry before
reinstalling it.
Allow 24 hours after installation for the water
storage tank to cool completely.
Depending on your specific model, the water
storage capacity will range from approximately
10 to 30 oz (0,3 to 0,9 liters).
If the dispenser has not been used for several
hours, the first glass dispensed may be warm.
Discard the first 10 oz (0,3 liters).
Make sure that the refrigerator is connected to a
cold water pipe.

hot water line may damage the icemaker.

Dispense 2.5 gallons (9 liters) of water (flush for
approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped
air and contaminates from the system.
Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon (9 liters)
amount continuously. Depress and release
the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds
ON and 60 seconds OFF.
Empty the ice bin. If your icemaker is equipped
with an ice shutoff arm, make sure that the arm
moves freely. If your icemaker is equipped with
the electronic ice shutoff sensor, make sure that
there is a clear path between the two sensors.
Reinstall the ice bin and wait 24 hours to confirm
proper operation.
