2. INSTALL WATER FILTER
1. Remove the old water filter.
NOTE:
2. Replace with a new water filter.
3. After the water filter is replaced,
• Press the push button to open
the water filter cover.
Replacing the water filter causes a small amount of
water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain. Place a cup under the
front end of the water filter cover to collect any leaking water.
Hold the water filter upright, once it is removed, to prevent
any remaining water from spilling out of the water filter.
• Make sure to rotate the filter
down completely before pulling it
out of the manifold hole.
• Pull the water filter
downward and turn to counter-
clockwise.
• Take the new water filter out of its packing and remove the
protective cover from the o-rings.
With water filter tabs in the
horizontal position.
• Push the new water filter into
the manifold hold and turn to clockwise.
• Rotate the water filter up into position and close the cover.
The cover will click when closed
correctly.
dispense 2.5 gallons of
water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped
air and contaminates from the system.
Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously.
Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30
seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
3. REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator and freezer are adjustable to
meet your individual storage needs.
Adjusting the shelves to fi t items of different heights will
make finding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will
also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator and freezer
doors are open which will save energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water
while they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when
removing them.
Remove shelves from the shipping position and replace
shelves in the position you want.
To remove a shelf—Pull the shelf toward you 1 , then lift
from both front and rear 2 .
Do not apply too much force when pulling out the
shelf. If the shelf hits the door, it may result in damage or
personal injury.
Tilt the shelf 3 and pull forward to remove it 4 .
