The dispenser lights are LEDs that do not need to be replaced. If

it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see

“Troubleshooting” for more information.

The Dispenser Lock

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 controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice

maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■ Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

■ Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.

The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.

Water Filtration System

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the

refrigerator compartment.

Water Filter Status

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 “Order Filter” icon will illuminate 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” icon will illuminate and blink

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 Filter” light is

illuminated.

■ After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and

“water” icons will glow 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 status light. Press the

OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press LOCK to

initiate the reset, then press MEASURED FILL to confirm that you

want to reset the status light. When the system is reset, the

“ORDER” and “REPLACE” icons will disappear from the display

screen.

Replacing the Water Filter

To purchase a replacement water filter, model number

UKF8001AXX-750 or UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or

call 1-800-253-1301 in the U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 in Canada.

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 Dispenser.”

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

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 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.

■ 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.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

LOCKED UNLOCKED

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.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

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