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
when the flow of water to the icemaker
decreases, or every 6 months.
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.
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 grip on the end of the cartridge
should be positioned vertically.
Do not overtighten
.
Close the cartridge cover.
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.
