Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the
top grille compartment. Flip up the panel
top grille to access the water filter.
When to Replace the Filter
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.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge is designed to filter
500 gallons of water (lasting approximately
12 months).
If you are replacing the cartridge, first
remove the old one by slowly turning
it counterclockwise. Do not pull down
on the cartridge. A small amount of
water may drip down.
Fill the replacement cartridge with
water from the tap to allow for better
flow from the dispenser immediately
after installation.
Lining 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 clockwise until the filter
cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position.
Cartridge will rotate about 1/4 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for
3 minutes (about 1
1
⁄2 gallons) to clear
the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER
button on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter
cartridge may cause water to spurt from
the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug
when a replacement filter cartridge is not
available. The bypass plug will be taped to
the door bin in the new unit.
NOTE: The dispenser and the icemaker
will not operate without the filter or filter
bypass plug.
