2. Lift open the filter cover door. The filter will be released and 

then eject as the door is opened.

3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out.

NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling 
may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.

4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the 

covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place 
after the covers are removed.

5. With the arrow pointing up, align the new filter with the filter 

housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will 
automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted.

6. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the 

filter into place. You may need to press hard.

7. Make and discard three full containers of ice to prepare the 

water filter for use, before using the ice.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. 
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid 
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

■

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors 
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must 
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid 
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods 
tightly.

■

For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-
resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of 
your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the 
following cleaning instructions.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window 
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, 
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers 
containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and 
cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not 
use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior 

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a 
mild detergent in warm water. 

3. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, 
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. 
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately 
to avoid water spots.

Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, 
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. 
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately 
to avoid water spots. 

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the 
direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching. 

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal 

home operating environments. If the environment is 
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in 
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

■

Remove the base grille.

■

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, 
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area 
of the condenser.

■

Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to 
replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, 
and wattage (no greater than 40 watts).

The light bulbs are located at the top of the refrigerator 
compartment.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Using both hands, squeeze inward on the sides of the light 

shield, releasing it from the back of the compartment. Then, 
move the shield toward the back to release it from the front of 
the compartment.

3. Remove the light bulb(s) and replace it with a 40 watt 

appliance bulb of the same size and shape.

4. Replace the light shield by inserting the front end into the 

compartment and then pushing up until it snaps into place. 

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
