About the controls on the refrigerator.
Control Settings
Initially, set the control(s) at
5
(some models have
only one control). Allow 24 hours for the temperature
to stabilize.
Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the
control(s) one increment at a time and allow 12 hours
after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you have set.
Setting the refrigerator control to
0
stops cooling in
both the freezer and refrigerator compartments but
does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
The freezer control (on some models) has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions, and may require
more than one adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the amount of food in the refrigerator or
freezer, the frequency of door opening and the temperature of food when it is placed in the refrigerator.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the
cartridge, first remove the
old one. To open the
cartridge cover, push in
where indicated and the
cover will drop down.
Remove the cartridge by
slowly rotating it to the left.
A small amount of water
may drip down.

If air
has been trapped in the system,
the filter cartridge may be
ejected as it is removed. Use
caution when removing.
Apply a month and year
sticker to the new cartridge
to remind you to replace it
in
six months
.
Position the cartridge
inside the cartridge holder
and slowly rotate the
cartridge to the right until
it stops. When the
cartridge is properly
installed, you will feel it
“click” as it locks into
place. The blade on the
end of the cartridge
should be positioned
vertically.

overtighten
.
Close the cartridge cover.
Run water from the
dispenser for 3 minutes
(about 1
1
⁄

gallons) to clear
the system and prevent

About the water filter.
(on some models)
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is
located inside the cartridge
holder in the back upper right
corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
NOTE:
Some models ship with the
filter bypass plug in place of the
filter cartridge. The filter bypass plug needs to be removed before
the filter cartridge is installed. Keep the filter bypass plug for
future use.
When to Replace the Filter
The filter cartridge should be replaced every
six months
or earlier
if the flow of water to the icemaker and dispenser decreases.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when
a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The dispenser and
the icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter bypass
plug.
