Water Dispenser

(on some models)

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was first installed, dispense water into a container until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or for approximately 5 minutes after the water begins dispensing. The water you draw and discard rinses the pipes. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

Dispensing Water

There are two water dispenser buttons, as shown, for use with different sizes of containers.

1.Press a glass against the back button or hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the front button.

2.Remove the glass or release the front button to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

WaterFilter Status Light

(on some models)

The water filter status light, located at the top of the refrigerator compartment, will help you know when to change your water filter. When the water filter status light changes from green to yellow, this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter (90% of the filter life has been used). It is recommended that you replace the water filter when the water filter status light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. To change the water filter, see “Water Filtration System.”

After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light by pressing the light switch 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 every 6 to 9 months depending upon your 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.

WaterFiltration System

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Changing the Water Filter

1.Locate the filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and filter out through the base grille.

NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.

2.Remove the cap by sliding it off the end of the used filter. The cap will slide to the left or right.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

3.Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the protective cover from the O-rings.

4.Slide the cap (removed in Step 2) onto the new filter. See illustration in Step 2.

5.With the cap in the vertical position, push the new filter into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Flush the water system. See “Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter.”

Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter

Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 5 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
