2.Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place.

Water Filtration System

(on somemodels)

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. When the water filter status display changes from “GOOD” to “ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter cartridge. Replace the water filter cartridge when the water filter status display changes to “REPLACE.” If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage.

After changing the water filter, reset the status light by pressing and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds. The status light will change from “REPLACE” to “GOOD” when the system is reset.

Changing the Water Filter

1.Press the eject button to release the filter from the base grille.

2.Pull the filter straight out.

3.Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it from the filter.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

4.Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter and turn the cap until it snaps into place.

NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water will not be filtered. Simply insert the cap all of the way into the base grille and rotate the cap until it is firmly in place.

5.Remove the covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.

6.Push the filter into the base grille. The eject button will pop back out when the filter is fully engaged.

7.Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

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 avoid buildup of odors. 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 avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: 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 door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

3.Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

WARNING

Broken Glass Hazard

Do not hit refrigerator glass doors.

Protect glass surface and edges during installation or removal of doors.

Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or minor cuts.

4.On some models, wash glass door panels with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

NOTE: Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased likelihood of breakage at a later date.
