ACTIVESMART™ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Water filter

The water supplied to your refrigerator is filtered to remove impurities through a filter
located internally at the top right corner of the refrigerator. Replace your filter cartridge
every 6 months.

●

●

There is a replacement indicator icon

on the internal control panel (Ice & Water and

Automatic Ice models) and external display which will appear when the filter needs
replacing. The icon will flash, as a reminder, when water is dispensed.

●

●

Replacement filter cartridges are available from your Fisher & Paykel dealer, online or
from a Fisher & Paykel service technician. The details of the replacement filter cartridge
are labelled on the cartridge.

Changing the water filter cartridge

Guidance of how to replace your water filter and reset your indicator icon

can be

found at fisherpaykel.com/water-filter.
