Water filter removal and installation
WARNING!
Poisoning Hazard
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use the refrigerator where water is
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
use of filter.
Failure to do so can result in death or injury to persons.
Important!
After installing a new water filter, if removing the filter for any reason, do so with caution as air
trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject.
The bypass cap does not filter water when fitted. Be sure to have replacement cartridge available
when filter change is required.
If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.
If the ice maker has not been used for several months, or ice has an unpleasant taste or odor,
empty and wash the ice bin in warm soapy water, rinse and dry before replacing. If unpleasant
taste or odor persists, change filter cartridge.
