Water Filtration System 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. Replacing the Water Filter 1. Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille. NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur. 2. Remove the cap by sliding it off the end of the used filter. The cap will slide to the left or right. IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter. 3. Take the new water filter out of its packaging and remove the protective cover from the O-rings. Discard the protective cover. 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. 3. With the cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops. IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter. 4. Rotate the cap to a horizontal position. The cap might not be even with the base grille. Ice Maker and Storage Bin (on some models - Accessory) Style 1 To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off: The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located on the side of the ice maker. 1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. 2. To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate. 4. Slide the cap (removed in Step 2) onto the new filter. See illustration in Step 2. 5. With cap in the vertical position, push the new water filter into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Flush the water system. See "Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter" later in this section. To Remove and Replace the Ice Bin: 1. Flip up the covering panel. A Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 6 qt (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households. NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser. A. Ice maker cover 9
