Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin

(on some models)
IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the
water system before turning on the ice maker. See "Water Dispenser."
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first
three batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days for the storage bin
to fill completely following installation.
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. This can cause
damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice storage
bin.
Ice Production Rate
The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs of ice per day
under normal operation.
To increase ice production, select the increased ice production
feature from the Options menu on the control panel. See "Using the
Controls."

The ice maker is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator
compartment ceiling. Ice cubes are ejected into the ice storage bin,
located on the left-hand refrigerator door.

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 compartment in the right-hand side of the
refrigerator ceiling. Push up to release and lower the compartment
door.
2. Turn the water filter counterclockwise (to the left), and pull it
straight out of the compartment.
NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.
3. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the cover from
the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the cover is
removed.
4. Align the arrow on the water filter label with the cutout notch in the
filter housing and insert the filter into the housing.
