Dispenser Light
NOTES:
■ The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed.
■ When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn
the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you

dispenser light will illuminate at half-power when the light level is
low. To activate the Auto option press the “light” button. The Auto
indicator light will illuminate.

The On indicator light will illuminate.
Off: To turn the dispenser light off, press the “light” button a third
time.
Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be locked for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The dispenser lock does not shut off power to the
product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It just
deactivates the dispenser lever.
To Lock and Unlock Dispenser:

lock the dispenser. The indicator light will illuminate when Lock is
on.
Press and hold the “control lock” touch pad again for

Water Filtration System
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status Lights
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 the Reset Filter pad
for three seconds. The Order and Replace indicator lights will
blink and then go off when the system is reset.
Replacing the Water Filter
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.
REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on 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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
