Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the
back upper right corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
The filter cartridge should be replaced
every
six months
or earlier if you notice your
ice cubes becoming smaller.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge,
first remove the old one. Open the
cartridge cover by pressing in on the
tab at the front and pulling down.
Remove the cartridge by slowly rotating
it counterclockwise. A small amount of
water may drip down.
CAUTION:
If air has been trapped
in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as
it is removed. Use caution when removing.
Mark you calender or apply the
month and year sticker, to remind you
to replace the filter cartridge in
six
months
.
Remove the protective foil from the
end of the cartridge.
Lining up the arrow on the cartridge
and the cartridge holder, slowly rotate
the cartridge clockwise until it stops.
When the cartridge is properly
installed, you will feel it “click” as it
locks into place. The blade on the end
of the cartridge should be positioned
vertically.
Do not overtighten
.
Close the cartridge cover.
Run water from the dispenser for
3 minutes (about 1
1
⁄
2
gallons) to clear
the system and prevent sputtering.
See
To Use the Dispenser
section.
NOTE:
A newly-installed water filter cartridge
may
cause water to spurt
from the dispenser.
