Water Filtration System

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change

your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This

tells you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is

recommended that you replace the water filter when the status

light changes to red OR 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.

After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light.

The status light will change from red to green when the system is

reset.

Non-Indicator Water Filter (on some models)

If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you

should change the water filter cartridge at least every 6 months

depending on your water quality and usage. If the water flow to

the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before

6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

You can run 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 and replace the cap in

the base grille.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your

refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

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.

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.

5. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal

home operating environments. If the environment is

particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in

the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to

3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

■ Remove the base grille. See the “Door Removal”

instructions, either in the User Instructions or the separate

instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.

■ Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,

the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area

of the condenser.

■ Replace the base grille when finished.

6. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of

unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or

after the system.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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.
