Water Filter Indicator / Reset Filter
The water filter indicator will help you know when to change your
water filter. The indicator will change from dark to yellow when it is
time to order a new filter. The indicator will then change from
yellow to red when it is time to replace the filter. The disposable
water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months or more
often depending on your water quality and usage.
After replacing the water filter, reset the water filter indicator.
■Press and hold the RESET FILTER touch pad for 3 seconds.
The indicator light will turn from red to dark.
Changing the Water Filter
The water filter is located through the base grille. You do not have
to remove the base grille in order to change the water filter.
1. Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the
cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
and water filter out through the base grille.
NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur.
2. Remove the water filter cap by sliding it off the end of the old
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 water filter out of its packaging and remove the
cover from the O-rings.
4. Slide the filter cap onto the new water filter. See illustration in
Step 2.
5. With the filter cap in the vertical position, insert the new filter
into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the filter cap clockwise
to a horizontal position.
6. Before using ice, fill and discard three full containers of ice to
prepare the water filter for use.
Using the Ice Maker Without the Water Filter

REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS CARECleaning
The drawers defrost automatically. However, clean both drawers
about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills
immediately.
To clean your refrigerator drawers:
1. Hand wash, rinse, and dry interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
■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 drawer liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
■To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g
to 0.95 L] of water).
2. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. To avoid damage to painted metal exteriors, apply
appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do
not wax plastic parts.
NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator drawers
looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is
suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved
Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see
“Accessories.”
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces or
drawer gaskets. If unintended contact does occur, clean
plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
