4. Place the indicator in the top of the housing, facing outward.
5. Slide the cap closed, and check that the indicator is visible
through the rectangular hole in the cap.
NOTE: The cap will not easily close if the indicator’s rear
bubble has not been popped.
Replacing the Produce Preserver (on some models)
The disposable pouches should be replaced every 6 months,
when the status indicator has completely changed from white to
red.
To order replacements, see “Accessories” in the User Instructions
or User Guide.
1. Remove the old pouches from the Produce Preserver housing.
2. Remove the old status indicator.
3. Install the new pouches and status indicator using the
instructions in the previous sections.
Changing the Water Filter
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. See “Water Filtration System” in the User
Instructions or User Guide.
NOTE: If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter should be
replaced at least every 6 months, depending on your water quality
and usage.
1. Locate the water filter in the top-right corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
2. Lift open the filter cover door. The filter will be released and
then be ejected as the door is opened.
3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out.
NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling
may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.
4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the cap.
Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the cap is removed.
5. With the arrow pointing up, align the new filter with the filter
housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will
automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted.
6. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the filter
into place. You may need to press hard.
7. After changing the filter, reset the filter status light. See “Water
Filtration System” in the User Instructions or User Guide.
8. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers” in the
User Instructions or User Guide.
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.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on 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. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
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. See the “Door Removal”
instructions, either in the User Instructions or the
Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual, or in the
separate instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.
■ 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.
