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. To change the filter, see “Water Filtration
System.”
Reset Water Filter Status
After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status. On the
display screen, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds. The
status light will change from Replace Filter (red) to Normal (blue
water) when the system is reset.

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 all compartments, any odors
formed in one compartment will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean all compartments 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 4396095. To order the
cleaner, call
1-800-422-9991
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.
3.
Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Clean the Condenser
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.
To clean the condenser:
1.
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.
Remove the base grille.
3.
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.
4.
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 the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.
Remove the light shield (on some models).
WARNING
