Water Filtration System
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.
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The filter status light will help you know when to change your
water filter.
The light will change from green to yellow. This tells you that it
is almost time to change the filter.
It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status
light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably.
NOTE: The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months
depending on your water quality and usage.
Resetting the Filter Status
The reset button is located on the control panel in the
refrigerator compartment. To reset the status light after
changing the filter, press the button 5 times within
10 seconds.
The status light will change from red to green when the
system is reset.
Non-Indicator Water Filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you
should change the water filter cartridge at least every 6 months
depending on your water quality and usage. If the water flow to
the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before
6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.
Changing the Water Filter
A. Water filter cover door
1. Locate the water filter cover door in the base grille, and pull
open the filter door. The filter will be released and then be
ejected as the door is opened.
2. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out.
A
NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling
may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.
3. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the
covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place
after the covers are removed.
4. With the arrow pointing to the left (toward the filter cover
door's hinge), align the new filter with the filter housing and
slide it into place. The filter cover door will automatically
begin to close as the new filter is inserted.
5. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the
filter into place. You may need to press hard.
6. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."
REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
