Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner
of the refrigerator compartment.
When to Replace the Filter on Models With a
Replacement Indicator Light
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.
When to Replace the Filter on Models Without a
Replacement Indicator Light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every
six months
or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Removing 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.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing a SmartWater cartridge with
an adapter, it must be removed before installing the
cartridge. To remove the adapter, turn it to the left about 1/4
turn.
If you are replacing a Water by Culligan cartridge,
leave the adapter in place. This adapter will stay in the
refrigerator when you replace future cartridges.
On models ithout a replacement indicator light,
apply the month and year sticker to the new cartridge to
remind you to replace the filter in
six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to
allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after
installation.
Line 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 to the right until the filter cartridge stops.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position. The cartridge will
move about 1/2 turn.
Run water from the dispenser 1-1/2 gallons (about three
minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the
WATER FILTER
pad (on some models) on
the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE:
A newly-installed water filter cartridge may
cause water
to spurt
from the dispenser upon first use.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will not
operate without the filter or filter
bypass plug.
To use the filter bypass plug on Water by Culligan models, you
must first remove the filter adapter from the cartridge holder by
turning it to the left.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE
recommends the use of GE branded SmartWater filters only.
Using GE branded filters in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators provides
optimal performance and reliability. GE branded SmartWater
filters are always the right choice because they are patented and
designed specifically for GE products. GE SmartWater filters meet
rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are
important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not
qualified non-GE branded filters for use in GE and Hotpoint
refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE branded
filters meet GE’s standards for quality, performance and reliability.
