The water dispenser
If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was first installed, please do so before using the water dispenser. To flush the water system, please see the section �Water System Preparation.� IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned.

Interior Water Filtration System
(on some models)
The interior water filter cartridge is located in the upper corner of the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator. The interior water filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

Replacing the interior water filter cartridge
1. Twist the interior water filter cartridge ¹�� turn to the left. The INSTALL mark will be lined up with the indicator line located on the filter mounting bracket cover. 2. Gently pull down on the cartridge to remove it from the filter mounting bracket assembly. To prevent water from spilling inside the refrigerator, DO NOT TIP the cartridge. Dispose of the cartridge. 3. Install the new interior water filter cartridge. You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge, but your water will not be filtered. NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

To dispense water: 1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever. 2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its packaging. Remove the red cap from the cartridge. Apply the appropriate month sticker to the cartridge as a reminder to replace the cartridge within six months. Then apply the �Water Filter Replacement Reminder� sticker to your calendar as a reminder to replace the cartridge in six months.

The dispenser light (on some models)
The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by pressing the ON button at the right hand side of the control panel. The red indicator above the ON button will appear. On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser the lever will automatically turn the light on. On models without crushed ice, the light switch is a rocker-style type. Push the switch to turn the light on, and push again to turn the light off.

NOTE: See the �Changing the Light Bulbs� section for information on changing the dispenser light bulb.

4. Line up the INSTALL mark on the water filter label with the indicator line that is molded into the filter mounting bracket cover. Push the cartridge into the filter mounting bracket. Twist the cartridge ¹�� turn to the right to lock it into place. The REMOVE mark should be lined up with the indicator line located on the front cover. 5. Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households. NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser. 6. Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water leaks, see the �Troubleshooting� section.

The dispenser lock (on some models)
Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent accidental dispensing by small children and pets. To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator will appear above the LOCK button and the ice and water dispensers will not work. To unlock the dispenser, press the UNLOCK button until the indicator appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water as usual.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser levers.
