may not be possible to remove all minerals / odor
/ taste in all water supplies.

discolored or bad tasting ice.

become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste.
Throw away old ice and make a new supply.

food is not wrapped properly.

It is recommended that you replace the water
filter:
• Approximately every 6 months.
• When the water filter indicator turns on.
• When the water dispenser output decreases.
• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.

approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped
air and contaminants from the system. Do
not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount
continuously. Depress and release the dispenser
pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds
