Twin Cooling System
,,The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde-
pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individual-
ly and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator
does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circulation.
Multi-Flow System
Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level.This pro-
vides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food
fresh longer.
Xtra Space TM
,,Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for
pizza etc.
Door Alarm
Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra FreshTM

The water "Filter Indicator" light
, "Filter Indicato¢' light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. The light
will change from green to orange. This tells you that it is almost time to change the current cartridge.
We recommend that you replace the cartridge when the light changes to red.
(see "Install the water filter" section for more information)
, When you install the water filter, throw away the first six glassfulls of water filter, or until water flows
clearly to flush impurities in the water supply system.
Using the dispenser without the water filter
, You can not use the water and ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line
blocks the water supply.
