2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make
sure it is securely in place.
Clean the Ice Storage Bin
NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together in the ice bin. Ice may
be dispensed or used more frequently which will break up the ice.
It is recommended that the ice container be emptied and cleaned
as needed.
To clean the ice storage bin:
1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
bin or bucket. 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 rst batch of ice. Allow 3 days
to completely ll ice container.
■ Discard the rst three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be ushed 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.
■ For Style 1 ice maker, 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/bucket.
Water Filtration System
Water Filter Indicator (on some models)
The water lter indicator, located on the control panel, will help
you know when to change the water lter.
A new water lter should display a reading of 99%. The reading
in the display will decrease as the lter life is used. A replacement
water lter should be ordered when “Order Filter” is displayed. It
is recommended that you replace the lter when “Change Filter”
is displayed or when water ow to your water dispenser and/or
ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing the Water Filter”
later in this section.
NOTE: Dispenser models have a lter reset on the freezer
compartment door. Non-Dispenser models have a Good/Order
Filter/Replace Filter indicator.
After changing the water lter, press and hold RESET for
2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.
Changing the Water Filter
The water lter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to
remove the lter.
1. Remove the lter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the lter cap.
NOTES:
■ Avoid twisting the cap when removing the lter because
this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs,
replace the cap and pull the lter straight out.
■ There will be water in the lter. Some spilling may occur.
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 lter.
3. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new lter, and
then turn the cap until it snaps into place.
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.
