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
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.
■
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 20000008. To order the
cleaner, call 1-800-901-2042 U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777
Canada.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact
does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
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.
■
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.
Changing the Light Bulb
IMPORTANT: The light bulbs in both the refrigerator and freezer
compartments of your new refrigerator use LED technology. If the
lights do not illuminate when the refrigerator and/or freezer door is
opened, call for assistance or service. See “Warranty” for phone
numbers.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield, if necessary.
■
Top of the refrigerator compartment - Squeeze both sides
of the light shield while pulling downward to remove.
■
Beneath ice storage enclosure (on some models) - Press
along upper edge of light shield and roll light shield
forward to remove.
3. Replace the burned-out LED bulb(s) with a bulb of the same
size, shape and wattage.
■
To replace the burned-out LED bulb with an LED bulb,
order Part Number W10565137 (3.6 watts).
NOTE: Some LED replacement bulbs are not
recommended for wet/damp environments. The
refrigerator and freezer compartments are considered to
be wet/damp environments. If using a brand of LED bulb
other than the recommended LED bulb, before
installation, read and follow all instructions on the LED
packaging.
■
If an incandescent bulb is used to replace an LED bulb,
use only incandescent bulbs for household appliances
with a maximum of 40 watts.
4. Replace the light shield(s) by inserting the tabs on the shield
into the liner holes and snap into place.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the light shield, do not force the
shield beyond the locking point.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
WARNING

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
