Water Filtration System
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
The Water Filter Status Light
The filter status light, located on the control panel above the ice and water dispensers, indicates when to change the water filter.
The light will change from green to yellow. This means that it is almost time to change the 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.
After changing the water filter, reset the filter status light by pressing and holding the RESET button for 3 seconds. The indicator light will change from red to green when the system is reset.
NOTE: It is possible to reset the filter status only when the indicator light is red.
Replacing the Water Filter

5.With cap in the vertical position, push the new filter into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Flush the water system. See “Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter.”
Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to flow. 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.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter
You can use the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered.
1.Remove the water filter.
2.Slide the cap off the end of the filter. With the cap in the vertical position, replace the cap into the base grille until it stops.

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 prevent odors from building up. 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 prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
