The dispenser lock (on some models) Style 1: Behind the base grille filter
Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent
accidental dispensing by small children and pets. To turn off the
dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator will appear
above the LOCK button and the ice and water dispensers will not
work. To unlock the dispenser, press the UNLOCK button until
the indicator appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water as
usual.

LOCK UNLOCK
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates
the dispenser levers.
The base grille water filter status light (on some models)
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter cartridge. The light is located at the top of the
refrigerator compartment. The light will change from green to
yellow. This tells you that it is almost time to change the water
filter cartridge (90% of the filter life has been used). It is
recommended that you replace the base grille water filter
cartridge when the water filter indicator light changes to red OR
water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases
noticeably. (See "Changing a base grille water filter cartridge"
later in this section.)
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
1. Status Light
2. Light Switch
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter
status light by pressing the light switch 5 times within 10
seconds. The status light will change from red to green when the
system is reset.
Non-indicator water filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you
should change the water filter cartridge every 6 to 9 months
depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months
have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more often.
Changing a base grille water filter cartridge
The base grille water filter is located below the freezer
compartment door. Depending on your model, you may have a
filter that is located behind the base grille (Style 1) or a filter that
is located through the base grille (Style 2).

protective cover from o-rings.
