Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water lter, ush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds,
then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to
ow. Once water begins to ow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser paddle (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will ush
air from the lter and water dispensing system, and prepare
the water lter for use.
Additional ushing may be required in some households. As
air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid ooding. To
continue dispensing, press the dispenser paddle again.
■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
Dispensing Water
1. Hold a container under the dispenser spout while pressing the
dispenser pad.
2. Release the dispenser pad to stop dispensing.
Water Filtration System
The water lter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status Lights
When a water lter has been installed in the refrigerator the water
lter status lights will remind you when it is time to order and
replace your water lter.
■ The Order light (yellow) will illuminate when 90% of the
volume of water for which the lter is rated has passed
through the lter OR 5 months have passed since the lter
was installed.
■ The Replace light (red) will illuminate when the rated volume
of water has passed through the lter OR 6 months have
passed since the lter was installed. A new water lter should
be installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.
The disposable water lter should be replaced at least every 6
months OR earlier if the ow of water to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably.
Reset Water Filter Status
After replacing the water lter, press and hold RESET FILTER or
FILTER RESET (depending on your model) for 3 seconds. The
Order and Replace indicator lights will blink and then go off when
the system is reset. See “Using the Controls.”
Replacing the Water Filter
To purchase a replacement water lter, model UKF8001AXX-200/
EDR4RXD1, see “Accessories.”
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water
and lter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the lter or blue bypass cap.
1. Turn lter counterclockwise to remove.
2. Remove sealing label from replacement lter and insert the
lter end into the lter head.
3. Turn the lter clockwise until it stops. Snap the lter cover
closed.
4. Flush the water system. See “Water Dispenser” or “Water and
Ice Dispenser.”
NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water lter
installed. Your water will not be ltered. If this option is chosen,
replace the lter 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
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, ammable uids, 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.
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.
