NOTE: If the Max Cool feature has been selected prior to
turning on the Holiday feature, then the set points will remain
at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, respectively, until the Max Cool feature times
out. The refrigerator will then return to the previous
temperature set points chosen prior to the selection of the
Max Cool feature, but the lights and ice maker will remain off
until the Holiday key is pressed again.
Water Filter Status
The water filter status display will help you know when to change
the water filter. The display is located at the top of the refrigerator
compartment.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in
the display will decrease as the filter life is used. When the
display reads 10%, it is time to order a replacement water filter. It
is recommended that you replace the filter when the filter display
changes to 0% OR when water flow to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing the Water Filter”
later in this section.
After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for
2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.
Water Filtration System
Replacing the Water Filter
1. Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the
cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
and filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur.
2. Remove the cap by sliding it off the end of the used filter. The
cap will slide to the left or right.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Take the new water filter out of its packaging and remove the
protective cover from the O-rings. Discard the protective
cover.
4. Slide the cap (removed in Step 2) onto the new filter. See
illustration in Step 2.
5. With cap in the vertical position, push the new water filter into
the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a
horizontal position. Discard the first three batches of ice
produced after replacing the filter.
Using the Ice Maker Without a Water Filter
You can operate the ice maker without a water filter. Your ice will
not be filtered.
1. Remove the water filter.
2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter. With the cap in the
vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it
stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Rotate the cap to a horizontal position. The cap might not be
even with the base grille.
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.
