KitchenAid KFIS27CXMS Manual De Usuario

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn off the ice maker when removing 
the storage bin.
1. Pull the handle to unlock the ice storage bin.
2. Hold both sides of the ice storage bin, tilt the bin forward and 

lift slightly to remove.

IMPORTANT: The ice storage bin must be locked in place for 
proper ice dispensing.
1. Replace the ice storage bin on the door.
2. Pivot the bin so that it is firmly in place, and push back to 

assure that it is secure.

■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced.

■

The ice maker should produce approximately 40 batches of 
ice in a 24-hour period. 

■

To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator 
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours 
between adjustments. 

■

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 bin. This 
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism. 

■

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice 
storage bin.

The water filter status light will help you know when to change 
your water filter. When the water filter status display changes from 
“NORMAL” to “ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to 
replace the water filter. Replace the disposable water filter when 
the water filter status display changes to “REPLACE.” The 
REPLACE (red) icon will blink and an alert beep will sound one 
time after water is dispensed. 
If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases 
noticeably, change the filter sooner. The disposable water filter 
should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on your 
water quality and usage. To change the filter, see “Water Filtration 
System.”

 

After changing the water filter, reset the status light. On the display 
screen, press OPTIONS, then WATER FILTER, then RESET, then 
YES. The status light will change from REPLACE (red) to NORMAL 
(green) when the system is reset. 

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the 
refrigerator compartment. 

IMPORTANT: The disposable water filter should be replaced at 
least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or 
ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, 
replace the water filter more often.

To purchase a replacement water filter, Part Number 
UKF8001AXX, contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 in the 
U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 in Canada.

IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water 
and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes 
before removing the filter or blue bypass cap. 
1. To access the filter, press upward on the ribbed section of the 

water filter cover.

2. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the 

filter end into the filter head.

4. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover 

closed.

5. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter 
installed. Your water will not be filtered. If this option is chosen, 
replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. 
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor 
buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT:

■

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors 
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must 
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid 
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods 
tightly.

■

Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, 
scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, 
concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches or 
cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use paper 
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools that may 
scratch or damage the materials.
