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
The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter.
■When the dispenser control panel’s water filter status display changes to “ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter cartridge.
■Replace the water filter cartridge when the water filter status display changes to “REPLACE.”
If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months, depending on your water quality and usage.
■After changing the water filter, reset the status light by pressing and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds. When the system is reset, the “ORDER” and “REPLACE” icons will disappear from the display screen.

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. 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.
5.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
