Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still
be dispensed, but no more can be made.
NOTE: The icemaker has an automatic shutoff to keep the
storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. 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. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin:
1. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work.
5. To restart ice production, push the wire shutoff arm down to
the ON position. Make sure the door is closed tightly.

Water Filtration System

(on some models)
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 Indicator
The water filter status indicator, located on the control panel's
display screen, will help you know when to change your water
filter.
When the water filter is in good condition, the water filter
status indicator icon does not appear on the control panel.
When the control panel's water filter status indicator icon
appears in orange, this tells you that it is almost time to
change the water filter. It is recommended that you order a
replacement filter when the orange icon appears.
Replace the water filter when the water filter status indicator
icon changes from orange to red.
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.
After changing the water filter, reset the status indicator by
pressing and holding the RESET ALARM button for
3 seconds. When the system is reset, the water filter status
indicator icon will disappear from the display screen.
Changing the Water Filter
1. Locate the water filter in the top-right corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
2. Lift open the filter cover door. The filter will be released and
then eject as the door is opened.
3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out.
NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling
may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.
4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the covers
from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the
covers are removed.
5. With the arrow pointing up, align the new filter with the filter
housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will
automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted.
6. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the filter
into place. You may need to press hard.
7. Flush the water system until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been
dispensed. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
