2. Remove the cap by sliding it off the end of the used filter. The

cap will slide to the left or right.

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

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

3. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the cover

from the O-rings. Discard the cover.

4. Slide the cap (removed in Step 2) onto the new filter. See

illustration in Step 2.

5. With the cap in the vertical position, push the new filter into

the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a

horizontal position. Flush the water system. See “Flushing the

Water System After Replacing Filter.”

Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter

Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until

the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing

and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Flushing the system

will take approximately 5 minutes and will help clear air from the

line. See “Water Dispenser.”

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of

the dispenser.

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 base grille water filter.

2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter.

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

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

3. With the cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the

base grille until it stops.

4. Rotate the cap to a horizontal position.

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.

■ For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-

resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of

your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the

following cleaning instructions.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid,

cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers

containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and

cabinet), 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. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,

soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.

Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to

avoid water spots.

Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean,

soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.

Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to

avoid water spots.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the

grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.

4. 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.

■ 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.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

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