Water And Ice Dispenser; Water Filtration System - Maytag MFI2269FRZ01 User Instructions

Water and Ice Dispenser

IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or
replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy
container to depress and hold the water dispenser pad for
5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water
begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue
depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on,
5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been
dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water
dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use.
Additional flushing may be required in some households. As
air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the
dispensing lever again.
The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.

WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
1. Select water or cubed ice by touching the word WATER or ICE
on the control panel. The light above the control indicates your
selection.
2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not
make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the container to stop dispensing.

Water Filtration System

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
Water Filter Status Lights
When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator the water
filter status lights will remind you when it is time to order and
replace your water filter.
The Order light (yellow) will illuminate when 90% of the volume
of water for which the filter is rated has passed through the
filter OR 5 months have passed since the filter was installed.
The Replace light (red) will illuminate when the rated volume of
water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have passed
since the filter was installed. A new water filter should be
installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every
6 months OR earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably.
Reset Water Filter Status
After replacing the water filter, press and hold RESET FILTER or
FILTER RESET (depending on your model) for 3 seconds. The
Order and Replace indicator lights will blink and then go off when
the system is reset. See "Using the Controls."
