Replacing the Water Filter
To purchase a replacement water filter, model UKF8001AXX-750
or UKF8001AXX-200, see “Accessories.”
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.
Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.
2.
Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the
filter end into the filter head.
3.
Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter 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 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.
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.

the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area
of the condenser.
