WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE HOLDER

The water filter cartridge holder is located in the back upper-right corner of the fresh food refrigerator compartment.

WHEN TO REPLACE THE FILTER

If there is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser, the red filter light will start blinking to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. The filter light will blink while the door is open until the filter is replaced.The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months, or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

If you are replacing the filter, first remove the previous one: 1. Open the filter cartridge housing by squeezing the 2 front tabs and gently pulling down. 2. Rotate the filter down.3. Gently grasp the filter and slowly turn it counterclockwise about a ¼ turn. The filter should automatically release itself when you have rotated it far enough to the left. A small amount of water may drip down. CAUTION If air has been trapped in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when removing.

To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, call 877.337.3639 or go to Haierparts.com. GEAppliances.ca or call 800.661.1616 in Canada. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate without either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge. INSTALLING THE FILTER IN A BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR 1. Open the filter cartridge housing by squeezing the 2 front tabs and gently pulling down. 2. Line up the ports on the filter with the ports on the filter cartridge holder, and gently insert the filter.3. Slowly turn the filter to the right until it stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions. If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch in the OFF position. When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to the ON position. The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes. You may hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water. Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear. Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is normal for several cubes to be joined together. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink. NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice. There is ice storage in the freezer compartment located on the left side of the upper basket. Pull the upper basket forward to remove the ice bucket.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls. Use an appliance wax polish on the inside surface between the doors. Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

BEHIND THE REFRIGERATOR

Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces. Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom front of the refrigerator. Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator. Lower the leveling legs until they touch the floor. When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or water supply line.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open. If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified service technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

3) Turn water supply off

If you cut the water supply off, turn off the icemaker (pg. 23). Upon returning from vacation, replace the water filter.

Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of the refrigerator against the hand truck. This could damage the refrigerator. Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator. Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.

• The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high- pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.

• You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

• You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.

• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

• You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

• On models with an icemaker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

• On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you may hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after dispenser button is released.

• The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

• Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.

• A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.

• Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.XWF WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE LIMITED WARRANTY
