both sides and above the appliance.

Ensure that the vent outlets on the appliance 
casing or housing unit are unobstructed in 
order to allow correct air circulation.

All appliances equipped with an ice maker or 
water dispenser must be connected to a 
mains water supply that delivers potable 
water only (with water pressure between 2.4 
and 8.3 bar (35 and 120 PSI)). Ice makers and/ 
or water dispensers not directly connected to 
a mains water supply must be filled with 
potable water only.

Install and level the appliance on a floor strong 
enough to take its weight and in an area 
suitable for its size and use.

USE OF ICE MAKER AND WATER DISPENSER
Automatic Ice Maker
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed. Proper 
water flow and a level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice 
maker performance.
Ice Maker Operation
To turn ice maker On push arm down from locked position.

Lift arm up and lock into position to turn ice maker Off.
Operating Instructions
Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is down.

After freezer section reaches between -17° to -18° C (2° to 0° F), 
ice maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a 
complete harvest of ice approximately every three hours.

Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive first 
harvest of ice.

Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation to assure 
system is flushed of impurities.

Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until click is heard.

Ice maker will remain in the off position until arm is pushed down.

The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and 
irregular cubes because of air in the supply line.

When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be 
joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. 
The ice maker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes 
raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.

Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker. 
The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall 
into an empty storage pan and the water valve may click or “buzz” 
occasionally.

If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy, 
shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin 
periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin 
thoroughly before replacing it.

Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for 
quick chilling. These items can block the ice maker arm, causing the 
ice maker to malfunction.

Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water supply is to be shut 
off for several hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the ice maker 
dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn the ice maker off by 
raising the ice maker arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on by lowering 
the ice maker arm.
Water Dispenser (select models)
The Water Dispenser is located on the left side wall of the fresh 
food section. This design is for cold water dispensing only.
To Dispense Water:
Hold container under spout and press dispenser pad.

WATER FILTER (SELECT MODELS)
Water Filter Removal and Installation
If your appliance must be connected to the mains water supply to 
operate the water dispenser and/or ice maker, it must be a water 
supply which delivers potable water only. Ice makers not connected 
to a mains water supply must be filled with potable water only.
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the fresh 
food compartment.
1.
Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.
2.
Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head.
3.
Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter cover closed.
4.
Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system. Run water 
continuously for two minutes through dispenser until water runs 
steady. During initial use, allow about a one- to two-minute delay in 
water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.

Additional flushing may be required in some households where 
water is of poor quality.
Replacing Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause water and 
cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes 
before removing the filter for any reason. Use caution when 
removing.
1.
Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter head.
2.
Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in normal household 
trash.
3.
Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue with Initial 
Installation, steps 2 through 4.
IMPORTANT: 
Condition of water and amount used determines life 
span of water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor 
quality, replacement may need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge, contact your dealer.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter cartridge. If 
you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.
NOTES:
1.
The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to have replacement 
cartridge available when filter change is required.
2.
If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter 
cartridge.
3.
If system has not been used for several months, or water has an 
unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by dispensing water for two 
to three minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change filter 
cartridge.
