Cleaning the Condenser
WARNING
To reduce the risk of death or
electric shock, you must follow these
instructions:
Ŷ Unplug the refrigerator before removing any
panels.
Ŷ Do not contact or damage any wiring while the
panel is removed.
Ŷ Replace all parts and panels before plugging
the refrigerator back in.
Periodically, the condenser of the refrigerator will
become covered with dust and dirt. This can make your
refrigerator cool less effectively and use more energy.
You can improve the refrigerators' performance by
FOHDQLQJWKHFRQGHQVHU,WLVORFDWHG
at the back of your refrigerator, at the
bottom, behind the access cover.
Cleaning the condenser requires a
philliips screwdriver, vacuum cleaner
and soft brush with a long handle.
To clean the condenser:
1. Turn off the refrigerator.
2. Turn the leveling legs at each
front corner of the refrigerator
counterclockwise until the rollers
support the refrigerator.
3. Roll the refrigerator out far
enough so you can get behind it
at the bottom. Be sure not to pull
out any water lines connected to
your refrigerator.

ALIGN DOORS (if needed)
When the doors are properly aligned, the width of the
vertical space between the doors is even, and the
tops of the doors appear level. When the doors are
removed and replaced on the refrigerator they may
become misaligned, and appear angled or uneven. You
can adjust the height of each door to bring it back into
proper alignment.

for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable
cysts. EPA Establishment Number 070595-MEX-001.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to ensure optimal filter
performance:
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your water pressure
exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer
conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water
temperature of this filter system is 100º F (38º C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop
below 33ºF (0.6ºC).
•
