Water Filtration System
All Sub-Zero built-in models except models BI-36R and
BI-36RG feature a water filtration system that supplies
filtered water to the ice maker and water dispenser
(dispenser models) to produce great-tasting water and ice.
The water filter has been factory installed behind the grille
assembly. Refer to the illustration below.
When using the water filter for the first time, it is necessary
to clear any air from the water system and allow the filter
to assist in cleaning the water lines. For non-dispenser
models, this is done by discarding the first two full
containers of ice. For dispenser models, dispense multiple
glasses of water for a period of two minutes.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Water system and installation must
comply with applicable state and local regulations.
WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE MONITOR
It is important that the operation, maintenance and filter
replacement requirements be carried out as scheduled.
The water filter cartridge is rated for 750 gallons
(283 L)
or one year, whichever comes first. The electronic control
system monitors the life of the water filter cartridge and
indicates when it needs to be replaced.
WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
When it is time to replace the water filter cartridge, the
indicator will be visible in the control center display panel.
Follow these steps to replace the water filter cartridge:
1)
To access the water filter, pull out on the bottom edge
of the grille assembly and tilt the grille frame forward.
2)
To remove the old filter cartridge, simply rotate the
cartridge counterclockwise one-quarter turn and pull it
out. Refer to the illustration below. There will be water
in the filter cartridge, so it is normal for a small amount
to spill out.
3)
Remove the new filter cartridge from its packaging and
carefully remove the plastic cap.
4)
Insert the new filter into the manifold and turn clock-
wise until the filter is seated.
5)
Once the filter cartridge has been replaced, press and
hold the filter reset button for five seconds in order to
reset the water filter life monitor. The filter life monitor
has been successfully reset if the
indicator is no
longer displayed in the control center display panel.
Refer to the illustration below.
