Water filter (Ice & Water models only)
All the water to your refrigerator is filtered to remove impurities through a filter cartridge located
in a position of your choice outside the refrigerator. This will need changing approximately every
6 months.
■
■
There is a replacement indicator icon
on the internal control panel and external display which
will appear when the filter needs replacing. It will flash, as a reminder, when water is dispensed.

Replacement filter cartridges are available through Customer Care or online at www.fisherpaykel.com
(this service is available to selected markets only). The details of the replacement filter cartridge are
on the label of the cartridge. Alternatively filter cartridges can be purchased from your Fisher &
Paykel Authorised Repairer.

tap off. Reconnect the tubing.
