TheDispenserLock(onsomemodels)

The dispenser can be locked for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser levers.

To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator will appear above the LOCK button and the ice and water dispensers will not work. To unlock the dispenser, press the UNLOCK button until the indicator appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water as usual.

The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. When the status light changes from green to yellow, this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter. It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status light changes to red OR when 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. To change the filter, see "Changing the Water Filter."

After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the status light by pressing the light switch 5 times within 10 seconds. The 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 cartridge more often.

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.
