Water Filtration System

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status Light
When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator, the water
filter status lights help you know when to change your water filter.
The water filter status icon will change from Normal (blue
water) to Order (red waves) and "Order Filter" (orange) when
90% of the volume of water for which the filter is rated has
passed through the filter OR 5 months have passed since the
filter was installed.
The "Replace Filter" (red) icon illuminates and blinks
continuously during dispensing when the rated volume of
water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have passed
since the filter was installed. A new water filter should be
installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.
After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the "Replace Filter" and
"water" icons will glow (red) at all times and blink
continuously during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will
sound three times following dispensing.
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every
6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the
water filter more often.
Reset Water Filter Status
After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status. On the
display screen, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds. The
status light will change from Replace Filter (red) to Normal (white
waves and water drop) when the system is reset.
Replacing the Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water
and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the filter or blue bypass cap.
1. To access the filter, press upward on the ribbed section of the
water filter cover.
2. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the
filter end into the filter head.
4. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover
closed.
5. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."
NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter
installed. Your water will not be filtered. If this option is chosen,
replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.

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 odor
buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between all compartments, any odors
formed in one compartment will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean all compartments to eliminate odors. To
avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover
foods tightly.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,
scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches or
cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools that may
scratch or damage the materials.
Clean the Interior
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water, hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and
interior surfaces thoroughly.

Clean the Touch Screen Display on the Dispenser Panel
1. Make sure the refrigerator is unplugged or the power is
disconnected before wiping the screen, to avoid

NOTE: Do not spray or wipe liquids directly onto the screen,
or over-saturate the cloth.
