Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the
back upper right corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
There is a replacement indicator light for
the water filter cartridge on the temperature
display. This light will turn orange to tell you
that you need to replace the filter soon. The
filter cartridge should be replaced when the
replacement indicator light turns red or if
the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first
remove the old one by slowly turning it to
the left. DO NOT pull down on the cartridge.
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.
Remove the protective foil from the end of
the cartridge.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water
from the tap to allow for better flow from
the dispenser immediately after installation.
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.
Do not overtighten.
Run water from the dispenser for
3 minutes (about 1
1
ø
2
gallons) to clear
the system and prevent sputtering.
See To Use the Dispenser section.
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER
pad for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter
cartridge may cause water to spurt from
the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. The
icemaker will not operate without the filter or
filter bypass plug.
