To Access the User Preferences Menu:

1.Press and hold the Door Alarm touch pad for 3 seconds. The preference name will appear in the Freezer display and the preference status (F or C) or (ON or OFF) will appear in the Refrigerator display.

2.Use the Freezer (+) or (-) touch pads to scroll through the preference names. When the desired preference name is displayed, press the Refrigerator (+) or (-) touch pads to change the preference status.

3.Set your preferences by pressing and holding the Door Alarm touch pad for 3 seconds, or by shutting the refrigerator compartment door.

Water Dispenser

(on some models)

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 6 to 7 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

1.Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the button.

2.Release the 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 will help you know when to change the water filter. When the yellow (Order) light is on, it is almost time to change the water filter. When the red (Replace) light is on, a new water filter should be installed. See “Water Filtration System.”

After replacing the water filter, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds until the Order or Replace light turns off.

WaterFiltration System

NOTE: 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.

IMPORTANT:

■The water filter should be replaced when the status light is red (Replace) or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

■Air trapped in the system may cause water and the water filter to eject. Dispense water for 2 minutes before removing the used water filter.

Replacing the Water Filter

The water filter mounting bracket is located on the right side of the refrigerator compartment.

1.Turn the used water filter counterclockwise until it releases from the filter mounting bracket.

2.Drain water from the water filter into the sink, and discard the used water filter. Wipe up the excess water in the filter cover.

3.Remove the sealing label from the end of the new water filter and insert the water filter into the filter mounting bracket. Gently rotate the water filter clockwise until it stops, and snap the filter cover closed.

4.Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

5.Inspect the water filter system for leaks. If you see water leaks, see “Troubleshooting.”

Using the Dispenser Without a Water Filter

You can use the water dispenser without a water filter, but your water will not be filtered. If you choose this option, replace the water filter with the blue bypass cap.

Ice Maker

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

■To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.
