It is recommended that you replace the water
fi
lter:
• Approximately every 6 months.
• When the water
fi
lter indicator turns on.
• When the water dispenser output decreases.
• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
Rotate the water
fi
lter up into
position and
close the cover.
The cover will
click when closed
correctly.

After the water
fi
lter is replaced, dispense 2.5
gallons of water (
fl
ush for approximately 5 minutes)
to remove trapped air and contaminants from
the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon
amount continuously. Depress and release the
dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60
seconds OFF.
NOTE:
To purchase a replacement water
fi
lter, visit a
Sears store or call 1-800-4-MY-HOME

1. Remove the old water filter.
Press the push button to open the
water
fi
lter cover.
NOTE:
Replacing the water
fi
lter
causes a small amount of water
(around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain. Place
a cup under the front end of the water
fi
lter cover to
collect any leaking water. Hold the water
fi
lter upright,
once it is removed, to prevent any remaining water from
spilling out of the water
fi
lter.
Pull the water
fi
lter downward
and pull out.
Make sure to
rotate the
fi
lter
down completely
before pulling
it out of the
manifold hole.
2. Replace with a new water
fi
lter.
Take the new water
fi
lter out of its packing and remove
the protective
cover from the
o-rings. With the
water
fi
lter tabs
in the horizontal
position, push the
new water
fi
lter
into the manifold
hole until it stops.
