If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser paddle for at least five minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first six full glasses of water.

ŶTo keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

ŶSome crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.

ŶAfter crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.

ŶSometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the left-hand refrigerator door behind the rectangular access panel.

When to Replace the Filter Cartridge

The Replace Water Filter message on the control panel will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to be replaced soon. The Water Filter Expired message will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to be replaced. The water filter can be replaced earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases. Once either message is illuminated, dispensing water will show Confirm Filter Change; do not confirm until the water filter is replaced

REMOVING THE FILTER

If you are replacing the filter,

first remove the previous one by gently grasping the filter and

slowly turning it to the left, about a ¼ turn. The filter should automatically release itself when you have rotated it far enough to the left. A small

amount of water may drip down.

USING THE FREEZER: Automatic Icemaker

Automatic Icemaker

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

WARNING Connectonly. to potable water supply

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).

Automatic Ice maker

The ice maker will produce seven cubes per cycle approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period,

(-10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water line connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned on. See the table below for details.

To fill the bucket to maximum capacity after installation, dispense 3-4 cubes at 12 hours and 18 hours. Allow 2-3 days for the bucket to completely fill with ice.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the ice maker will stop

producing ice. It is normal

for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.
