■

The water filter should be replaced when the status light is 
red (Replace) or earlier if the flow of water to your water 
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

■

Air trapped in the system may cause water and the water 
filter to eject. Dispense water for 2 minutes before removing 
the used water filter.

The water filter mounting bracket is located on the right side of 
the refrigerator compartment.

1. Turn the used water filter counterclockwise until it releases 

from the filter mounting bracket.

2. Drain water from the water filter into the sink, and discard the 

used water filter. Wipe up the excess water in the filter cover.

3. Remove the sealing label from the end of the new water filter 

and insert the water filter into the filter mounting bracket. 
Gently rotate the water filter clockwise until it stops, and snap 
the filter cover closed.

4. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 

3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take 
approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the 
line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

5. Inspect the water filter system for leaks. If you see water 

leaks, see “Troubleshooting.”

You can use the water dispenser without a water filter, but your 
water will not be filtered. If you choose this option, replace the 
water filter with the blue bypass cap.

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down. 

■

To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

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.

■

To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to 
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure 
the ice maker will not continue to operate. 

■

Normal Ice Production: The ice maker should produce a 
complete batch of ice every 3 hours. If ice is not being made 
fast enough, adjust the Freezer Control to a lower (colder) 
number in steps. Wait 24 hours. If necessary, gradually adjust 
the Freezer Control to the lowest setting, waiting 24 hours 
between each adjustment.

■

OptimIce Production (on some models): The ice maker 
should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 
24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the OptimIce 
production feature, press the OptimIce touchpad.

■

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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice 
storage bin.

Your model may have some or all of these features.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your 
individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and 
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make 
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the 
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

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.

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when 
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to 
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. 
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter 
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass 
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when 
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
