refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against
a wall, you may want to allow additional space so the
door can be opened wider.
Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood
floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than
anticipated.
Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling
procedure under Leveling, page 5.
Important: If refrigerator is to be installed into a
recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely
covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap
to verify proper clearance.

ICE AND WATER
Automatic Ice Maker
Note: Energy rating guides that are posted on
the refrigerator at the time of purchase do not
include optional ice maker energy usage.
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructed on pages 6-7. Proper water flow and a
level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice
maker performance.
Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is
down.
• To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin,
lift open the door on the ice bin.
• 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 3-6 hours after
installation to receive first harvest
of ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12
hours of operation to verify 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 the ice maker by raising the ice maker arm
when the water supply is to be shut off for several
hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker OFF by raising the sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker
ON by lowering the ice maker arm.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic
ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This will help protect you from possible
injury. It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored, usually appearing with a greenbluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration
can be a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household plumbing
and the accumulation of copper salts in an
inactive water supply line which feeds the ice
maker. Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and
contact your dealer to purchase and install a water
line filter.
• Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.

WATER FILTER
Water Filter Removal and
Installation
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.
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 water for two to three
minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists,
change filter cartridge.
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand
corner of the fresh food compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap
and retain for later use.
2. Remove sealing label from
end of filter and insert into
filter head.
3. Rotate gently clockwise
until filter stops. Snap filter
cover closed.
4. 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
dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some
households where water is of poor quality.
(select models)
WARNING
CAUTION
Replacing Water Filter
Important: Air trapped in system may cause
water and cartridge to eject. Use caution when
removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from
filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in
normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue
with Initial Installation, steps 2 through 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
Important: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water
use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement
may need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge,
contact your dealer or call 1.888.9.FNP.USA
(1.888.936.7872)
The dispenser feature may be used without a water
filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter
with blue bypass cap.
