6. RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE
WATER RUNS CLEAR (about 2 - 3 gallons or 6 - 7 minutes).
This will clean the system and clear air from the lines.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.
Using the dispenser without the water filter
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered. If you run the dispenser without a water
filter cartridge, keep the cartridge cap and replace it in the base
grille for future use.
1. Remove the base grille water filter cartridge (See “Changing a
base grille water filter cartridge” earlier in this section.) Then
slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. DO
NOT DISCARD THE CAP.
2. With the cartridge cap in the vertical position, insert the cap
into the base grille until it stops.
3. Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position as shown in
step 5.
NOTE: The cartridge cap may not be even with the base
grille.
Interior Water Filtration System
(on some models)
The interior water filter cartridge is located in the upper right-
hand corner of the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator.
The interior water filter cartridge should be replaced every six
months or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably.
Replacing the interior water filter cartridge
1. Twist the interior water filter cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the left. The
INSTALL mark will be lined up with the indicator mark located
on the filter mounting bracket cover.
2. Gently pull down on the cartridge to remove it from the filter
mounting bracket assembly. To prevent water from spilling
inside the refrigerator, DO NOT TIP the cartridge.
3. Dispose of the cartridge.
4. To install a new cartridge, refer to “Installing the interior water
filter cartridge” section in this Use and Care guide.
NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge.
Your water will not be filtered.
Refrigerator Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs. Your model may have glass or wire
shelves.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your
protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small
pebble-size pieces. This is normal.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing
them to avoid impact from dropping.
Slide-out Shelves (on some models)
■ To slide out shelf, carefully pull front of shelf toward you.
■ To slide in shelf, push shelf in until it stops.
To remove and replace a shelf in a metal frame:
1. Pull the shelf forward to the stop.
2. Tilt the front of the shelf up and lift it slightly as you pull the
shelf from the frame.
3. Replace the shelf by guiding it back into the slots on the
frame and pushing the shelf in past the stop.
Shelves and Shelf Frames
To remove and replace a shelf/frame:
1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it
out of the shelf supports.
2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf
hooks drop into the shelf supports.
3. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the
shelf is securely in position.
