Ŷ Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the

the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger

to jam.

Ŷ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the

glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

Ŷ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you

selected CUBED. This happens occasionally when a

few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.

Ŷ After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip

from the chute.

Ŷ Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the

door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and

usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice

repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

XWF Water Filter

USING THE REFRIGERATOR: ;:):DWHU)LOWHU

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the left-hand

refrigerator door behind the rectangular access panel.

When to Replace the Filter Cartridge

The Replace Water Filter message on the control panel

will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to

be replaced soon. The Water Filter Expired message

will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to be

replaced. The water filter can be replaced earlier if the

flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Once either message is illuminated, dispensing water

will show Confirm Filter Change; do not confirm until

the water filter is replaced

REMOVING THE FILTER

If you are replacing the filter,

first remove the previous one

by gently grasping the filter and

slowly turning it to the left,

about a ¼ turn. The filter

should automatically release

itself when you have rotated it

far enough to the left. A small

amount of water may drip

down.

CAUTION

the clips.

5. Close the filter cartridge

housing by gently pushing

the door closed until the tabs

USING THE FREEZER: Automatic Icemaker

Automatic Icemaker

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to

begin making ice.

Automatic Ice maker

The ice maker will produce seven cubes per cycle

(-10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24

hours to begin making ice cubes.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water line

connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to

an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that

the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been

connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be

turned on. See the table below for details.

<RXPD\KHDUDEX]]LQJVRXQGHDFKWLPHWKHLFHPDNHU

fills with water.

To fill the bucket to maximum capacity after installation,

dispense 3-4 cubes at 12 hours and 18 hours. Allow 2-3

days for the bucket to completely fill with ice.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the

water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes

with the sweep of the

feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the

level of the feeler arm,

the ice maker will stop

producing ice. It is normal

for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become

cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water

pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle multiple

times when making one batch of ice.

CAUTION

to navicate to the Icemaker selection. See CONTROLS,

page 10.

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker

operation. The water pressure must be between 40
