Using the Ice Maker Without the Water Filter
You can run the ice maker without a water filter cartridge. Your ice
will not be filtered.
1. Remove the base grille water filter cartridge.
2. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. With
the cartridge cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into
the base grille 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. Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position. The
cartridge cap might not be even with the base grille.
To turn the ice maker on/off:
The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
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.
2. To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.

To increase ice production rate:
In normal ice production, the ice maker should produce
approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice
is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control
toward a higher (colder) number. Wait 24 hours between each
increase.
To care for ice storage bin:
Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
2. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
REMEMBER:
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
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.
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.
It may take 3 to 4 days for the ice bin to completely fill, if no
ice is used.
