Changing The Water and Air Filters
Locating the Filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with water
filtering system. The water filter system
filters all dispensed drinking water, as well
as the water used to produce ice.
Water Filter
The water filter is located at the top right
side of the fresh food compartment.
Replacing the Water Filter
In general, you should change the water
filter every six months to ensure the
highest possible water quality. Water Filter
Status on the user interface prompts
you to replace the filter after a standard
amount of water (125 gallons/473 liters for
PureAdvantage Ultra
TM
) has flowed through
the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a
period of time (during moving for example),
change the filter before reinstalling the
refrigerator.
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.
The PureAdvantage Ultra
TM
ice and water filter system is
tested and certified to NSF/ANSI
Standards 43, 53 and 401 for
the reduction of claims specified
on the performance data sheet.

To replace your PureAdvantage Ultra
TM
water filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply
off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe
up any small amounts of water released
during the filter replacement.
1 Turn Off the ice maker power switch.
2 Remove the old filter by rotating it
counter-clockwise (to the left) 90
degrees to release it.
3 Slide the old filter cartridge straight
out of the housing and discard it.
4 Unpackage the new filter cartridge.
Slide it into the filter housing as far as
it will go with the grip end horizontal.
5 Push lightly inward on the filter while
rotating it clockwise (to the right). The
filter will then pull itself inward as it is
rotated. Rotate the filter 90 degrees
until it stops and the grip end is
vertical. You may be able to feel a
very light click as the filter locks into
place.
6 Press a drinking glass against the
water dispenser while checking for
any leaks at the filter housing. Any
spurts and sputters that occur as
the system purges air out of the
dispenser system are normal.
7 Continue dispensing water for 3-4
minutes or until 1.5 gallons of water
has flowed through the system. You
will likely need to empty and refill your
glass several times.
8 Turn On the ice maker.
9 Press and hold the Water Filter reset
button on the control panel for three
seconds. When the display changes
from Red to Green, the status has
been reset.
