After Changing Filter."
Flushing the Water System After Changing Filter
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the
water dispenser lever 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 lever
(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This
will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter Cartridge
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling on
the cap. See "Changing the Water Filter" earlier in this
section.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. With the cap in a horizontal position, insert the cap into the
base grille until it stops.

Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the
attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice
cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up)
position.
