REFRIGERATOR
FEATURES

Water Filtration System

The base grille water filter status light
The water filter indicator display or light will help you know when
to change your water filter cartridge. The display or light is
located at the top of the refrigerator compartment.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99% and will
continue to decrease as the filter life is used. When display reads
10%, it is time to order a replacement filter. It is recommended
that you replace the base grille water filter cartridge when the
water filter indicator light changes to 0% OR when water flow to
your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. (See
"Changing the Base Grille Filter" later in this section.)
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter
status light by pressing and holding the RESET for 2 seconds.
The indicator light will change to 99% when the filter indicator is
reset.
Changing the Base Grille Filter
1. Locate the water filter cartridge 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 cartridge. Some spilling may
occur.
2. Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old
cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right. DO NOT
DISCARD THE CAP.
3. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove
protective cover from o-rings.
4. Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge. See
illustration in Step 2.

5. With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new filter
cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge
cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Discard the first three
batches of ice produced after replacing the filter.
Using the ice maker without the water filter
You can run the ice maker without a water filter cartridge. Your ice
will not be filtered.
1. Remove the base grille water filter cartridge.
2. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. DO
NOT DISCARD THE CAP. 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. The
cartridge cap might not be even with the base grille.

Refrigerator Shelves

Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers 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. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re-
moving them to avoid impact from dropping.
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs.
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.
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. Pull shelf straight out.
2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the 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.
