Freezer Features
Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is down.
• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C), ice
maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete
harvest of ice approximately every three hours.
• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive first harvest
of ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of
ice maker operation to assure system is
flushed of impurities.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker
arm until click is heard.
• Ice maker will remain in the off position
until arm is pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably
contain undersized and irregular cubes
because of air in the supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be
joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The ice
maker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises
the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker.
The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into
an empty storage pan and the water valve may click or “buzz”
occasionally.
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy,
shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin
periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin
thoroughly before replacing it.
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for
quick chilling. These items can block the ice maker arm, causing the
ice maker to malfunction.
• Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water supply is to be shut off
for an extended period of time.

Water Filter
WARNING
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use refrigerator where water is
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after use of filter.
CAUTION
After installing a new water filter, always dispense water for two
minutes before removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped in
system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution when
removing.
• The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to have replacement
cartridge available when filter change is required.
• If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter
cartridge.
• If system has not been used for several months, or water has an
unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by dispensing two to three
glasses of water. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change filter
cartridge. If system has not been use for three months or more,
replace water filter cartridge.
Removal and Installation
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right hand
corner of the fresh food compartment.
• Remove sealing label from end of filter and
insert into filter head.
• Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap
filter cover closed.
• Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system.
Run water continuously for two minutes through
dispenser until water runs steady. During initial
use, allow about a one- to two-minute delay in
water dispensing to allow internal water tank to
fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some
households where water is of poor quality.
Automatic Ice Maker
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed. Proper water
flow and a level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice maker
performance.
