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. 

When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator the water 
filter status lights will remind you when it is time to order and 
replace your water filter. 

■

The Order light (yellow) will illuminate when 90% of the 
volume of water for which the filter is rated has passed 
through the filter OR 5 months have passed since the filter 
was installed. 

■

The Replace light (red) will illuminate when the rated volume 
of water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have 
passed since the filter was installed. A new water filter should 
be installed immediately when the Replace light is 
illuminated.

The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 
6 months 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 or Filter 
Reset (depending on your model) for 3 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 UKF8001AXX-750 
or UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or call 1-800-688-9900 
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.

4. Flush the water system. See “Water Dispenser” or “Water and 

Ice Dispenser.”

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.

■

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. 

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.
