Etec E1460C Owner's Manual

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 controls and dispenser lever. To turn off the ice 
maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■

Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser. 

■

Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.

The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked. 

■

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.

The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the 
freezer compartment. 

■

To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) 
position.

■

To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the 
OFF (right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker 
sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will 
remain in the ON (left) position.

1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press 

the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the 
OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The 
sensor cover (“flipper door”) on the left wall of the freezer 
stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or 
the storage bin is removed.

2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make 

sure it is securely in place.

The filter status light will help you know when to change your 
water filter. 

■

The light will appear in yellow on the dispenser display screen 
when 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.

■

After changing the filter, reset the filter status light by pressing 
FILTER RESET. 

The status light will turn off when the system is reset.

1. Locate the water filter cover door in the base grille, and pull 

open the filter door. The filter will be released and then be 
ejected as the door is opened.

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.
