about your refrigerator’s water supply
The	automatic	ice	&	water	dispenser	on	your	refrigerator	requires	a	
permanent	water	supply	to	function	correctly. 	During	installation,	you	
(or	a	service	professional)	establish	this	water	supply	by	connecting	a	
water tube from your household water system to a valve at the rear of the 
refrigerator.
You may have already followed the directions in the Installation 
Instructions	to	connect	the	water	supply. 	This	information	is	repeated	here	
for	future	reference	if	you	need	to	relocate	your	refrigerator. 	
caution - to avoid property damage:
•	 Use water tubing for the water supply line (plastic  tubing is more likely to leak). manufacturer is not 
responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is 
used for supply line.
•	 Ensure	water	supply	and	installation	comply	with	state	and	
local laws and regulations.
•	 For	proper	dispenser	operation, 	recommended	water	supply	
pressure should fall between 210 kPa (2.1 bar) and 690 kPa 
  (6.9 bar). excessive pressure may cause water filter to 
malfunction.
connectinG tHe  Water suPPly / controls
What you will need:
	 •	 Access	to	a	cold	water	line	with	pressure	of	210	kPa	(2.1	bar)	to	
690	kPa	(6.9	bar). 	(System	supplied	with	cold	water	only.)
	 •	 Water	tubing	with	6.4	mm	Outside	Diameter	(OD). 	Length	for	
this	tubing	is	the	distance	from	the	rear	of	the	refrigerator	to	your	
household water supply line plus 2.1 meters. 
	 •	 A	shut-off	valve	for	the	connection	between	your	household	water	 line	and	the	refrigerator	supply	line. 	
	 	 Do	not	use	a	self-piercing	shut-off	valve.
	 •	 A	compression	nut	and	ferrule	(sleeve)	for	the	water	supply	 connection	at	the	rear	of	your	refrigerator.
to connect the water supply to the rear of your 
refrigerator:
  1	 Ensure	that	the	refrigerator	is	not	plugged	in.
  2	 Flush	the	supply	line	until	water	is	clear	by	placing	the	end	of	the	
water	tube	in	a	sink	or	bucket	and	opening	the	shut-off	valve.
  3  Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet at the rear of 
your	refrigerator. 	Discard	the	cap.
  4	 Slide	the	brass	compression	nut,	then	the	ferrule	(sleeve)	onto	
water tube.
  5	 Push	the	water	tube	into	water	valve	inlet	as	far	as	it	will	go	(6.4	
mm).
  6	 Slide	the	ferrule	(sleeve)	into	valve	and	finger-tighten	the	
compression	nut	onto	valve. 	Tighten	another	half	turn	with	a

storaGe features / a utomatic ice & Water maker/DisPenser
Priming the water supply system
Your	refrigerator’s	water	supply	system	includes	several	tubing	lines,	
an advanced water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank 
to	ensure	ample	supply	to	the	ice	and	water	dispenser	at	all	times. 	This	
system needs to be completely filled with water when first connected to 
an external supply line. 
W arninG - connect to potable water only. minimum 
supply water pressure = 210 kPa (2.1 bar). maximum 
supply water pressure = 690 kPa (6.9 bar). 
caution - for proper dispenser operation, 
recommended water supply pressure should fall 
between 210 kPa (2.1 bar) and 690 kPa (6.9 bar). 
excessive pressure may cause water filter to 
malfunction.
t o prime the water supply system:
  1	 Begin	filling	the	tank	by	pressing	and	holding	a	drinking	glass	
against	the	water	dispenser	paddle.
  2	 Keep	the	glass	in	this	position	until	water	comes	out	of	the	
dispenser. it may take about 1½ minutes.
  3	 Continue	dispensing	water	for	about	three	minutes	to	flush	the	
system	and	plumbing	connections	of	any	impurities	(stopping	to	
empty	the	glass	as	necessary).
ice maker operation & care
The	ice	maker,	ice	bin,	and	dispenser	feeding	mechanism	are	located	
in	the	top	of	the	freezer	compartment. 	After	the	refrigerator	is	installed	
properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice 
within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
The	ice	maker	produces	1.8	to	2.7	kg	of	ice	every	24	hours	depending	on	
usage	conditions. 	Ice	is	produced	at	a	rate	of	eight	cubes	every	75	to	90	
minutes.
OFF ON
Wire
Signal Arm
using the ice maker after 
installation
Before	making	ice	for	the	first	time,	be	
sure to prime the water supply system. 
Air	in	new	plumbing	lines	can	result	in	
two or three empty ice maker cycles. 
Furthermore,	if	the	system	is	not	flushed,	
the first ice cubes may be discolored or 
have	an	odd	flavor.
ice maker/dispenser tips
	 •	 Ice	cubes	stored	too	long	may	develop	an	odd	flavor. 	Empty	the	
ice container as explained below.
W arninG - incorporated ice makers are to be 
installed only by the manufacturer or its service 
agent.
note	-	 The	water	dispenser	has	a	built-in	device	that	shuts	off	the	
water	flow	after	three	minutes	of	continuous	use. 	To	reset	this	shutoff	
device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
imPortant -  Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work 
as	soon	as	you	install	your	refrigerator. 	If	you	cannot	connect	a	water	
supply, turn the ice maker’s On/Off switch to Off. Otherwise, the ice 
maker’s	fill	valve	may	make	a	loud	chattering	noise	when	it	attempts	to	
operate without water.
note -  The	ice	maker	also	has	a	built-in	wire	signal	arm,	which	
automatically	stops	ice	production	when	the	ice	bin	is	full. 	This	signal	
arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
imPortant - Small	ice	cubes	or	ice	chips	jamming	in	the	ice	maker 	
may 	be 	a 	sign 	that 	your 	water 	filter 	needs 	changing. 	If 	you 	have 	a 	side	
mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow cubes -- partially 
frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested they 
break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container, 
forming 	a 	solid 	mass 	of 	ice. 	As 	the 	water 	filter 	nears 	the 	end 	of 	its 	useful	
life 	and 	becomes 	clogged 	with 	particles, 	less 	water 	is 	delivered 	to 	the 	ice	
maker 	during 	each 	cycle. 	The 	ice 	maker 	can’t 	fill 	every 	cube 	in 	the 	ice	
maker 	mold, 	leading 	to 	small 	cubes 	or 	chips 	that 	can 	get 	caught 	between	
the 	ice 	ejector 	blades 	and 	the 	stripper. 		Remember, 	if 		 your 	ice 	maker	
is 	jamming 	with 	small 	ice 	cubes 	or 	it’s 	been 	six 	months 	or 	longer 	since	
you	last	changed	your	water	filter,	replace	the	water	filter	with	a	new	one. 	
Poor	quality	household	water	may	require	the	filter	to	be	changed	more 	
frequently.
t urning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s on/off	power	switch. 	To	
gain	access	to	the	ice	maker,	pull	the	extra	shelf	out	(some	models). 	
Press	the	switch	to	the	 “o”	position	to	turn	it	OFF	and	press	to	the	 “i”	
position to turn it ON.
	 •	 Occasionally	shake	the	ice	container	to	keep	ice	separated.
	 •	 If	your	refrigerator	is	not	connected	to	a	water	supply	or	the	water	 supply	is	turned	off,	turn	off	the	ice	maker	by	pressing	the	on/off 
switch. 
	 •	 If	you	need	a	large	quantity	of	ice	at	one	time,	it	is	best	to	get	 cubes directly from the ice container.
	 •	 The	following	sounds	are	normal	when	the	ice	maker	is	operating:
	 -	 Motor	running		 	 	 	
	 -	 Ice	dropping	into	ice	container		
	 -	 Water	valve	opening	or	closing
	 -	 Ice	loosening	from	tray
	 -	 Running	water
	 •	 When	dispensing	ice,	you	will	hear	a	snapping	or	clicking	sound	 when the ice chute opens and closes.
	 •	 Turn	off	the	ice	maker	when	cleaning	the	freezer	and	during	 vacations.
Dairy compartment
Use	the	dairy	compartment,	at	the	top	of	the	fresh	food	compartment	
door,	for	short	term	storage	of	cheese,	spreads,	or	butter. 	The	dairy	
compartment, which includes a lift-up cover that may be locked and a 
dairy	divider	(some	models),	is	designed	to	be	warmer	than	the	open	
storage	area	to	accommodate	these	types	of	food.

	To	clean	the	ice	maker:
  1	 Turn	off	ice	production	by	pressing	the	ice	maker’s	off/on switch.
  2	 Remove	the	ice	bin	by	lifting	up	and	out. 	
  3	 Empty	and	carefully	clean	the	ice	bin	with	mild	detergent. 	Rinse	
with	clear	water. 	Do	not	use	harsh	or	abrasive	cleaners. 	
  4	 Allow	the	ice	bin	to	dry	completely	before	replacing	in	the	freezer.
  5  Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door 
chute.
  6	 Replace	the	ice	bin. 	Press	the	ice	maker’s	off/on switch to 
resume ice production.
remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
	 •	 An	extended	power	failure	(one	hour	or	longer)	causes	ice	cubes	 in	the	ice	storage	bin	to	melt	and	freeze	together,	jamming	the	
dispenser mechanism.
	 •	 You	do	not	use	the	ice	dispenser	frequently. 	Ice	cubes	will	freeze	
together	in	the	bin,	jamming	the	dispenser	mechanism. 	
Remove	the	ice	storage	bin	and	shake	to	loosen	the	cubes	or	clean	as	
explained above.
caution - chemicals from a malfunctioning water 
softener can damage the ice maker. if the water 
supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the 
softener is maintained to work properly.
caution - neVer use an ice pick or similar sharp 
instrument to break up the ice.  this could damage 
the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
	 -	 If 	you 	turn 	off 	the 	ice 	maker 	for 	a 	long 	period 	of 	time, 	you 	should	
also turn off the water supply valve.
cleaning the ice maker 
Clean	the	ice	maker	and	ice	bin	at	regular	intervals,	particularly	before	
you take a vacation or move.
imPortant	-	 When	removing 	or	
replacing	the	ice	bin,	DO	NOT	rotate 	
the 	auger 	in 	the 	ice 	bin. 	If 	the 	auger 	is	
accidentally	rotated,	you	must	realign 	
the 	auger 	by 	turning 	it 	in 	90 	degree 	turns	
(see 	below) 	until 	the 	ice 	bin 	fits 	into 	place	
with the drive mechanism. i f the auger is 
not	 properly 	aligned 	when 	replacing 	the	
ice 	bin, 	the 	refrigerator 	will 	only 	dispense	
Crushed	Ice. 	The	freezer	door	may	also 	
not	close	properly	causing	warm	air	to 	
leak into the freezer.
locating the filters
Your	refrigerator	is	equipped	with	separate	water	and	air	filtering	systems. 	
The	water	filter	system	filters	all	dispensed	drinking	water,	as	well	as	the	
water	used	to	produce	ice. 	The	air	filter	removes	odors	and	impurities	
from	the	refrigerator	compartment.
Water filter
The	water	filter	is	located	at	the	top	right	side	of	the	fresh	food	
compartment. 
replacing the water filter
In 	general, 	you 	should 	change 	the 	water	
filter	every	six	months	to	ensure	highest 	
possible	water	quality. 	The	Water  filter 
status	 light	on 	the 	Touch 	Panel 	prompts	
you to replace the filter after a standard 
amount 	of 	water 	(1513.7 	liters 	for	
PureAdvantage
TM) has 	flowed 	through 	the	
system.
If	your	refrigerator	has	not	been	used	
note	-	 The	electronic 	touch 	panel, 	located	
at the freezer door, includes controls to 
monitor	the	status	of	your	air	filter. 	See	the	
Controls section for more information about 
these controls.
air filter
The	air	filter	is	located	at	the	top	of	the	fresh	food	compartment	next	to	
the water filter.
replacing the air filter
In 	general, 	you 	should 	change 	the 	air 	filter 	every 	six 	months 	(the 	filter 	status	
light 	on 	the 	Touch 	Panel 	prompts 	you 	to 	replace 	the 	filter 	after 	six 	months) 	to	
ensure	optimal	filtering	of	refrigerator	odors. 	You	may	want	to	adjust	this	time 	
period	depending	on	the	types	and	amounts	of	food	you	typically	store	in	your 	
refrigerator. 	To	replace	your	PureAdvantage
TM air filter:
  1	 Pull	the	air	filter	housing	straight	out.
