The Dispenser Light
On some models, the dispenser light will automatically turn on
when you use the dispenser.
■ If you want the light to be on continuously, press the ON
button on the left side of the dispenser panel. To turn the light
back off, press the OFF button on the left side of the
dispenser panel.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Problem
Solver” for more information.
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 ON button on the right-hand
side of the dispenser panel. To unlock the dispenser, press the
OFF button on the right-hand side of the dispenser panel.
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.
