Water Filtration System

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

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water 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 water filter when the status light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage.

After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light. 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.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered.

1.Remove the water filter.

2.Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace the cap in the base grille.

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

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.

WARNING

Broken Glass Hazard

Do not hit refrigerator glass doors.

Protect glass surface and edges during installation or removal of doors.

Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or minor cuts.

4.On some models, wash glass door panels with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

NOTE: Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased likelihood of breakage at a later date.

5.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. If you need to clean the condenser:

Remove the base grille. See the “Door Removal” instructions, either in the User Instructions or the separate instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser.

Replace the base grille when finished.

6.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulbs

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape and wattage. On some models, the dispenser light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb. All other lights require a 40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Remove light shield when applicable.

NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

3.Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size, shape and wattage.

4.Replace light shield when applicable.

5.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
