Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the top
grille compartment. Flip up the panel top grille
to access the water filter.
When to Replace the Filter
There is a replacement indicator light for the water
filter cartridge on the dispenser. 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
The filter cartridge is designed to filter 500 gallons
of water (lasting approximately 12 months).
If you are replacing the cartridge,
first remove the old one by slowly turning
it counterclockwise.
Do not
pull down
on the cartridge. A small amount of water
may drip down.
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, place the top
of the new cartridge up inside the holder.
Do not
push it up into the holder.
Slowly turn it clockwise until the filter
cartridge stops.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As
you turn the cartridge, it will automatically
raise itself into position. Cartridge will rotate
about 1/4 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes
(about 1
1
⁄
2
gallons) to clear the system and
prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the
RESET FILTER
button
on the dispenser 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 bypass plug will be taped to the door bin
in the new unit.
NOTE:
The dispenser and the icemaker will not
operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.

About ClimateKeeper
®
with dual evaporators.
How it Works
The
ClimateKeeper with dual evaporators
system features two evaporators—one for
the refrigerator and one for the freezer.
This provides two separate cooling systems, and
separates the airflow between the fresh food and
freezer compartments during normal cooling
operations.
The separate airflow system minimizes
the mixing of air between the two compartments,
which reduces fresh food odor transfer to improve
the taste of ice.
The
ClimateKeeper
system also reduces
the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer
evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.
