Water Filtration System - Whirlpool T2RFWG2 Refrigerator Use & Care Manual

Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
Style 1:
The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
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.
Style 2:
The ON/OFF switch is located on the ice maker, behind the ice
maker cover door.
To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (top)
position.
To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the
OFF (bottom) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production when the ice
storage bin is full or the freezer door is opened, but the control will
remain in the ON position.
REMEMBER:
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 bin or
bucket. 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.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press
the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the
OFF position when removing the storage bin. The sensor
cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer stops the
ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage
bin is removed.
2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make
sure it is securely in place.

Water Filtration System

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The filter status light will help you know when to change your
water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This tells
you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is recommended
that you replace the filter when the status light changes to red OR
water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases
noticeably.
After changing the filter, reset the filter status light by pressing the
FILTER RESET button. The status light will change from red to
green when the system is reset.
Non-indicator Water Filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the status light, you should
change the water filter every 6 months depending upon your
usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the
water filter more often.
Changing the Water Filter
1. Press the eject button to release the filter from the base grille.
2. Pull the filter straight out.
3. Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it from the filter.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
4. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter and
turn the cap until it snaps into place.
NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water
will not be filtered. Simply insert the cap all of the way into the
base grille and rotate the cap until it is firmly in place.
5. Remove the protective covers from the O-rings. Be sure the
O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.
6. Push the filter into the base grille. The eject button will pop
back out when the filter is fully engaged.
7. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."
