Ice Maker And Storage Bin; Water Filter Status Light - Maytag W10252999A User Instructions

Power Outage Indicator (on some models)
The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to
your refrigerator is cut off for more than 1 hour.
When power is restored, a power outage alert will appear on the
display screen. The display shows how long the refrigerator was
without power, using exact times if the clock has been set.
When the indicator is on, all other dispenser functions are
disabled. To use the dispenser, you must reset the power outage
indicator.
Press RESET on the display screen, then press YES to
confirm that you want to reset the indicator.
From the Home screen, you can view the power outage history
for the refrigerator. Press OPTIONS, then OUTAGE.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

The ice maker and storage bin are located in the upper left-hand
side of the refrigerator compartment.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. When the ice maker is
on, sensors will automatically stop ice production when the
storage bin is full. The ice maker will remain set to ON, and ice
production will resume when the bin is no longer full.
To manually turn off the ice maker, press OPTIONS on the display
screen, then ICE MAKER. On the next screen, press ICE MAKER
again to toggle between ON and OFF. When the ice maker is set
to OFF, it will stop producing ice.

Ice Production Rate
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The ice maker should produce approximately 40 batches of
ice in a 24-hour period.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Remember
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. This
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.

Water Filter Status Light

The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. When the water filter status display changes
from "NORMAL" to "ORDER," this tells you that it is almost time
to change the water filter cartridge. Replace the water filter
cartridge when the water filter status display changes to
"REPLACE."
If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases
noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter should be replaced
at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and
usage. To change the filter, see "Water Filtration System."
