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 base grille water filter.
2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. With the cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the
base grille until it stops.
4. Rotate the cap to a horizontal position.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
• 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.
• 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.
i NORMAL
Ice Production Rate
NORMAL Ice Production: In Normal ice production mode, the
ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of
ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough,
turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in
half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it
to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary,
gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting,
waiting 24 hours between each increase.
Optimlce Production (on some models): In Optimlce ice
production mode, the ice maker should produce
approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If
your refrigerator has the Optimlce ice production feature,
push the switch to Optimlce.
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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.

_mportant information to know about glass shelves
8nd oover$:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold= Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping=
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces= This is normal= Glass
shelves and covers are heavy= Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping=
Your model may have glass or wire shelves. Store similar foods
together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This
reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves energy.
