REPLACING THE WATER FILTER

It is recommended that you replace the filter 

approximately every 6 months, when the water filter 

indicator reaches 0 months, or when the ice and water 

dispenser noticeably decreases out-put.

Remove the old cartridge.

1.  Press the push button to open the filter cover.

NOTE:

 Replacing the filter causes a small amount 

of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain. Place a cup 

under the filter hole to catch any waste.

2.  Pull the cartridge downward.

3.  Pull out the filter cartridge.

NOTE:

 When opened at a full angle the

cartridge should easily come out.
