Style 2 The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the freezer compartment. Style 2 1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press the release button to lift the storage bin up and out. NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed. 2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place. To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) position. To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF (right) position. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position. REMEMBER: ■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. ■ 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. ■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism. ■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin. Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin Style 1 1. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear. 2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made. 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. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly. Water Filtration System Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Water Filter Status Light (on some models) The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This tells you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is recommended that you replace the water filter when the status light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage. After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light. The status light will change from red to green when the system is reset. Non-Indicator Water Filter (on some models) If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you should change the water filter cartridge at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often. Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered. 1. Remove the water filter. 2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace the cap in the base grille. IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter. 9
