Ice and Water Service (continued)
Water Filter Change Reminder Light
(select models)
For some refrigerator models featuring water
filters, the Water Filter Change Reminder
function monitors the life of the filter and
provides a reminder when it is time for the filter
to be changed. When the system detects either 12
months of usage, or the filtering of 416 gallons of water
(whichever comes first), the CHANGE FILTER
indicator light will illuminate. This indicates that the
water filter should be changed (see page 12) and the
light reset.
Spill Tray
DO NOT pour water into the Spill Tray grille at the
bottom of the dispenser area. This is a spill area, NOT
a drain. Normal, small spills will evaporate. Larger
spills should be wiped up with a soft cloth or sponge.
The grille slides out for clean up. It is recommended to
clean the spill area occasionally to prevent mineral
deposits.
Dispenser Light
When the actuator pad is pressed, the dispenser light
automatically illuminates. To manually turn the light
on, press the pad.
To turn the light off, press the pad again.
Dispenser Lock
To interrupt power to the water and ice dispenser so it
cannot be used, press the pad 3 times within 10
seconds.
An indicator light above the lock pad is illuminated when
the dispenser is locked. Press the pad 3 times within 10
seconds again to unlock the ice and water service.
Water Filter (select models)
The water filter mounts in the upper fresh-food
compartment, on the underside of the Dual Cool
control
housing.
Your refrigerator was delivered from the factory with a
filter bypass in place. The filter cartridge can be found
packaged inside of the refrigerator. It can be easily
installed without using any additional parts, screws or
fasteners.
Notes:
• The ice and water dispenser and the ice maker
should not be operated unless either the filter
bypass or a filter is in place.
• If the refrigerator is NOT equipped with a Water
Filter Change Reminder Light, change the filter
every six months.
Models equipped with a Water Filter Change
Reminder Light should have the filter changed
when the reminder light illuminates.
If water flow to the ice maker or dispenser
decidedly decreases or if an objectionable taste or
odor returns, change the filter sooner than
recommended.
Note: The Water Filter Change Reminder will
count down 12 months even if the filter bypass is in
place (see page 12).
To reset the CHANGE FILTER light: Press and hold
the LIGHT and LOCK pads until the CHANGE FILTER
light blinks (approx. 3 seconds). The control is now
reset for 12 months or another 416 gallons.
