IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities. 3. Remove the container to stop dispensing. Dispenser Light NOTES: ■ The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be changed. ■ When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the light on.

Off: To turn the dispenser light off, press the Light button a third time. Dispenser Lock The dispenser can be locked for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

To Lock and Unlock Dispenser: Press and hold the Lock/Unlock touch pad for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser. The indicator light will illuminate when Lock is on. Press and hold the Lock/Unlock touch pad again for 3 seconds to unlock dispenser. The indicator light will turn off. 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. IMPORTANT: 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. Replacing the Water Filter To purchase replacement water filters, model UKF8001AXX-750 or model UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or call 1-800-253-1301 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 and Ice Dispenser(s)." 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 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 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. 11
