The Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the
refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply
deactivates the dispenser lever. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
■ To lock the dispenser, press the LOCK button. To unlock the
dispenser, press the UNLOCK button.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
■ 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.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
■ To turn on the ice maker, lift open the ice maker door and
lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON position.
■ To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still
be dispensed, but no more can be made.
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. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
Removing and Replacing the Ice Storage Bin
1. Lift and hold open the ice maker door.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
Release the ice maker door.
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.
5. To restart ice production, lift open the ice maker door and
push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position.
Water Filtration System
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The 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 filter when the status
light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably.
NOTE: The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months
depending on your water quality and usage.
Resetting the Filter Status
■ The reset button is located on the control panel in the
refrigerator compartment. To reset the status light after
changing the filter, press the button 5 times within
10 seconds.
The status light will change from red to green when the
system is reset.
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.
