Touch Screen Care

IMPORTANT: Do not use sharp objects when using the touch

screen. Doing so could damage the screen.

For information about cleaning the touch screen, see “Cleaning.”

Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin

IMPORTANT:

■ Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See

“Water and Ice Dispensers.”

■ The ice maker and storage bin are located in the upper left-

hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The ice maker has an automatic shutoff. When the ice maker is

on, sensors will automatically stop ice production when the

storage bin is full. The ice maker will remain set to ON, and ice

production will resume when the bin is no longer full.

To manually turn off the ice maker, press the ice maker icon or

OPTIONS on the main display screen, then ICE MAKER. On the

next screen, press ICE MAKER again to toggle between ON and

OFF. When the ice maker is set to OFF, it will stop producing ice.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

To Remove the Ice Storage Bin:

1. Hold the base of the storage bin and press the release

button.

2. Pull out the storage bin.

To Replace the Ice Storage Bin:

IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to turn the auger driver,

behind the ice bin, counterclockwise to properly align the ice bin

with the auger driver. The ice storage bin must be locked in place

for proper ice dispensing.

1. Slide the ice bin into the guide rails located on either side of

the enclosure.

2. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt. Raise the front

slightly and push the ice bin in until an audible “click” is

heard.

Ice Production Rate

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 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.

NOTE: Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make

some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

Remember

■ 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 in the ice storage bin.

Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT:

■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or

replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy

container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for

5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water

begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue

depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on,

5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been

dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water

dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use.

Additional flushing may be required in some households. As

air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the

dispenser.

■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.

The default display unit for water dispensing is ounces. The units

can be changed to cups or liters.

To Dispense Water (Standard):

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR

place the glass below the water dispenser and press the

water dispenser button.

2. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water

with the touch of a few buttons.

NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be

sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If

ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

1. Press WATER on the display screen to turn the feature on.

NOTE: The dispenser will automatically exit the Measured Fill

screen after 15 seconds of inactivity.
