WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic
ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible injury. It will also prevent interference with moving parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating element that releases the cubes.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a green­bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration can be a combination of factors such as cer characteristics of loc plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice

Water Filter Removal and Installation
WARNING
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use refrigerator where water is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after use of filter.
CAUTION
After installing a new water filter, always dispense water for two minutes removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution when removing.
• The bypass c
ap does not filter water. Be sure to have replacement cartridge available when filter change is required.
• If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.
• If system has not been used for several months, or water has an unpleasant t
aste or odor, flush system by dispensing water for two to three minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change filter cartridge.
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the fre compartment.

Replacing Water Filter
Important: Air trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes blue bypass cap for any reason. Use caution when removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue with
Initial Installation, steps 2 and 3.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months. Important: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge, contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 USA or 1-800-688-8408 Canada.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.

Food Storage Tips
Fresh Food Storage
• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept between 34°-40° F (1°-4° C) with an optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and place in the center of the fresh food compartment. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls as explained on page 10.
• Avoid overcrowding the fresh food shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
• Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods (see page 17).
• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.
Dairy Food
• For milk and cream, store in the Temperature Controlled Beverage Chiller which is designed to maintain a lower temperature for optimum freshness and life.
• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these foods in the original carton and refrigerate immediately after purchasing and after each use.
Frozen Food Storage
• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately 0° F (-18° C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0 adjust the control as de

Energy Saving Tips
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. Overcrowding reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.
Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.
• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.
• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is open.
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator according to the instructions on page 4.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every three months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.
If Odor is Still Present:
1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator
2. Pack fresh food and freezer sections – including doors – with crumpled sheet newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both freezer and fresh food compartments.
4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new refrigerators run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older refrigerators, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
