Water Filtration System
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status
When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator, the water
filter status lights help you know when to change your water filter.
■
The water filter status icon will change from “Good” to “Order
Filter” when 90% of the volume of water for which the filter is
rated has passed through the filter OR 5 months have passed
since the filter was installed.
■
The “Replace Water Filter” icon will illuminate and blink
continuously during dispensing when the rated volume of
water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have passed
since the filter was installed. A new water filter should be
installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.
■
After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and
“water” icons will glow at all times and blink continuously
during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will sound three times
following dispensing.
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every
6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the
water filter more often.
Reset Water Filter Status
After changing the water filter, reset the status light. Press the
OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press LOCK to
initiate the reset, then press MEASURED FILL to confirm that you
want to reset the status light. When the system is reset, the
“ORDER” and “REPLACE” icons will disappear from the display
screen.
Replacing the Water Filter
To purchase a replacement water filter, model number
UKF8001AXX-750 or UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or
call 1-800-422-1230 in the U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 in Canada.
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water
and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the filter or blue bypass cap.
1. To access the filter, press upward on the ribbed section of the
water filter cover.
2. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the
filter end into the filter head.
4. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover
closed.
5. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispenser.”
NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter
installed. Your water will not be filtered. If this option is chosen,
replace the filter 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 odor
buildup. 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.
■
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,
scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches or
cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools that may
scratch or damage the materials.
Clean the Interior
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water, hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and
interior surfaces thoroughly.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Clean the Touch Screen Display on the Dispenser Panel
1. Make sure the refrigerator is unplugged or the power is
disconnected before wiping the screen, to avoid
unintentionally changing the settings.
2. Mix a solution of mild detergent in warm water. Dampen a soft,
lint-free cloth with the solution and gently wipe the screen.
NOTE: Do not spray or wipe liquids directly onto the screen,
or over-saturate the cloth.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Clean the Exterior Surfaces
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water, wash, rinse and thoroughly dry stainless steel
and painted metal exteriors.
■
To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner and Polish, Part Number 4396920. To order the
cleaner, call 1-800-422-1230 U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777
Canada.
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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
