WATER FILTER
It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
• Approximately every six months.
• When the water filter indicator
turns on.
• When the water dispenser output
decreases.
• When the ice cubes are smaller
than normal.
• Rotate the water filter up into
position and close the cover.
The cover will click when closed
correctly.
3.
After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5
gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes)
to remove trapped air and contaminates 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.
4. Water Filter Bypass Plug
Keep the water filter
bypass plug. You MUST
use the water filter
bypass plug when a
replacement water
filter cartridge is not
available.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate refrigerator without
water filter or water filter plug installed.
NOTE:

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