Dispenser Lock (on some models)

The dispenser can be turned off 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.

Water Filter StatusLight

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.”

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.

The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to remove the filter.

1.Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling straight out on the filter cap.

NOTES:

Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs, replace the cap and pull the filter straight out.

There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.
