CHANGING THE FILTEr
Locating the Filter
Your refrigerator is equipped with a 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.
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.
