Remember ■■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container. ■■ Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be flushed 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 Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. ■■ There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur. A B A. Eject button B. Filter cap 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 filter. 3. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter, and turn the cap until it snaps into place. A B Water Filter Indicator (on some models) The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will help you know when to change the water filter. A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement water filter should be ordered when "Order Filter" is displayed. It is recommended that you replace the filter when "Change Filter" is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or ice maker decreases noticeably. See "Changing the Water Filter" later in this section. NOTE: Dispenser models have a filter reset on the freezer compartment door. Non-Dispenser models have a Good/Order Filter/Replace Filter indicator. A. Cover B. O-rings 4. Remove the covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed. 5. Place the cap (removed in Step 2) on the new filter. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the filter. Turn the cap clockwise until it snaps into place. B C A After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for 2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%. Changing the Water Filter The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to remove the filter. 1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling straight out on the filter cap. NOTES: ■■ Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs, replace the cap and pull the filter straight out. A. Eject button B. Arrow on filter C. Ridge on cap 6. Push the new filter into the opening in the base grille.
