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 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

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.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

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

unintentionally changing the settings.

2. Mix a solution of mild detergent in warm water. Dampen a soft,

lint-free cloth with the solution and gently wipe the screen.

NOTE: Do not spray or wipe liquids directly onto the screen,

or over-saturate the cloth.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Clean the Exterior Surfaces

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in

warm water, wash, rinse and thoroughly dry stainless steel

and painted metal exteriors.
