■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced.

■

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of 
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the 
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener 
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker 
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot 
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating 
properly and is well maintained.

■

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice 
storage bin.

■

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the 
water system. Press the button on the dispenser for 
5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water 
begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue 
depressing and releasing the dispenser button (5 seconds on, 
5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This will flush air 
from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional 
flushing may be required in some households. As air is 
cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the 
dispenser. 

NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the 
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To 
continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again. 

■

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill 
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh 
supply.

1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the 

button.

2. Release the button to stop dispensing.

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the 
refrigerator compartment. 

The water filter indicator lights will remind you when it is time to 
order and replace your water filter. When the yellow (Order) light 
is on, it is almost time to change the water filter. When the red 
(Replace) light is on, a new water filter should be installed. It is 
recommended that you replace the water filter when the indicator 
light changes to red OR earlier if the flow of water to your water 
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

After replacing the water filter, press and hold Reset Filter for 
three seconds. The Order and Replace indicator lights will blink 
and then go off when the system is reset. See “Using the 
Controls.” 

To purchase a replacement water filter, model UFK8001AXX-750, 
contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 U.S.A. or
1-800-807-6777 Canada.

IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water 
and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes 
before removing the filter or blue bypass cap. 

1. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.

2. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the 

filter end into the filter head.

3. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover 

closed.

NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter 
installed. Your water will not be filtered. If this option is chosen, 
replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.

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.

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.
