Dispensing Water 1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the button. 2. Release the button to stop dispensing. Replacing the Water Filter To purchase a replacement water filter, model UKF8001AXX-750 or UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or call 1-800-688-9900 U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 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. 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 Water Filtration System The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment. 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. Water Filter Status Lights When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator the water filter status lights will remind you when it is time to order and replace your water filter. ■ The Order light (yellow) will illuminate 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 light (red) will illuminate 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. The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months OR earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. Reset Water Filter Status After replacing the water filter, press and hold Reset Filter or Filter Reset (depending on your model) for 3 seconds. The Order and Replace indicator lights will blink and then go off when the system is reset. See "Using the Controls." Cleaning WARNING Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. 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. ■ For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosionresistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the following cleaning instructions. To Clean Your Refrigerator: NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and cabinet), 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. 15
