11 Water Dispenser (on some models) IMPORTANT: ■After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser. NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again. ■Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply. Dispensing Water 1.Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the button. 2.Release the button to stop dispensing. 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 status lights will help you know when to change the water filter. When the Order light is on, it is almost time to change the water filter. When the Replace light is on, a new water filter should be installed. After replacing the water filter, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds until the Order or Replace light turns off. See “Using the Controls.”IMPORTANT: The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often. Replacing the Water Filter To purchase a replacement water filter, Model 67003523-750 (Part Number 4396395) or UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or call 1-800-422-1230 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. 4.Flush the water system. See “Water Dispenser” or “Water and Ice Dispenser.” 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. 3.Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. ■To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish, Part Number 4396920. To order the cleaner, call 1-800-422-1230 U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 Canada. 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.
12 IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. 4.There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency. If you need to clean the condenser: ■Remove the base grille. ■Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser. ■Replace the base grille when finished. 5.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power. Changing the Light Bulb NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and wattage (no greater than 40 watts). 1.Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power. 2.Remove the light shield (on some models). ■Top of the refrigerator compartment - Slide the light shield toward the back of the compartment to release it from the light assembly. 3.Replace the burned-out bulb(s) with an appliance bulb(s) no greater than 40 watts. 4.Replace the light shield. 5.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power. TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) to possibly avoid the cost of a service call. In the U.S.A., www.kitchenaid.com In Canada, www.kitchenaid.ca Refrigerator Operation The refrigerator will not operate ■Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. ■Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working. ■Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. ■Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. See “Using the Control(s).” ■New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely. NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will not cool either compartment more quickly. The motor seems to run too much Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open. The refrigerator seems noisy Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations. ■Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker ■Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance ■Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator ■Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle ■Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down ■Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan ■Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold. Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. WARNING

20 Cómo deshacerse adecuadamente de su refrigerador viejo IMPORTANTE: El atrapamiento y asfixia de niños no es un problema del pasado. Los refrigeradores tirados y abandonados son un peligro, aun si van a quedar ahí “por unos pocos días”. Si Ud. está por deshacerse de su refrigerador viejo, por favor siga las instrucciones que se dan a continuación para prevenir accidentes. Antes de tirar su viejo refrigerador o congelador: ■Saque las puertas. ■Deje los estantes en su lugar, así los niños no pueden meterse adentro con facilidad. INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACIÓN Desempaque el refrigerador Cómo quitar los materiales de empaque ■Quite los restos de cinta y goma de las superficies de su refrigerador antes de encenderlo. Frote un poco de detergente líquido para vajillas sobre el adhesivo con los dedos. Limpie con agua tibia y seque. ■No use instrumentos filosos, alcohol para fricciones, líquidos inflamables o productos de limpieza abrasivos para eliminar los restos de cinta o goma. Estos productos pueden dañar la superficie de su refrigerador. Para más información, vea “Seguridad del refrigerador”. ■Deshágase de todos los materiales de embalaje o recíclelos. Limpieza antes del uso Una vez que usted haya quitado todos los materiales de empaque, limpie el interior de su refrigerador antes de usarlo. Vea las instrucciones de limpieza en “Cuidado de su refrigerador”. ADVERTENCIA Peligro de Asfixia Remueva las puertas de su refrigerador viejo. No seguir esta instrucción puede ocasionar la muerte o daño al cerebro. Información importante para saber acerca del desecho de refrigerantes: Deshágase del refrigerador siguiendo los reglamentos federales y locales. Los refrigerantes deberán ser evacuados por un técnico certificado en refrigeración por EPA (Agencia de protección del medioambiente) según los procedimientos establecidos. ADVERTENCIA Peligro de Peso Excesivo Use dos o más personas para mover e instalar el refrigerador. No seguir esta instrucción puede ocasionar una lesión en la espalda u otro tipo de lesiones. Cómo mover su refrigerador: Su refrigerador es pesado. Cuando mueva el refrigerador para limpiarlo o para darle servicio, cerciórese de cubrir el piso con cartón o madera para evitar daños en el mismo. Al mover el refrigerador, siempre tire directamente hacia afuera. No menee el refrigerador de lado a lado ni lo haga “caminar” cuando lo trate de mover ya que podría dañar el piso. Información importante para saber acerca de los estantes y tapas de vidrio: No limpie los estantes y tapas de vidrio con agua caliente mientras están fríos. Los estantes y tapas pueden romperse si se exponen a cambios bruscos de temperatura o impacto, como sería un golpe brusco. El vidrio templado se ha diseñado para hacerse añicos. Esto es normal. Los estantes y tapas de vidrio son muy pesados. Use ambas manos al sacarlos para evitar que se caigan.
