Removal and Installation
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use
refrigerator where water is unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after
use of filter.
WARNING
After installing a new water filter, always
dispense water for two minutes before
removing the filter for any reason.
• The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to
have replacement cartridge available when filter
change is required.
• If water filtration system has been allowed to
freeze, replace filter cartridge.
• If system has not been used for a short period of
time, and water has an unpleasant taste or odor,
flush system by dispensing two to three glasses of
water. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change
filter cartridge. If system has not been used for
three months or more, replace water filter
cartridge (see page 26).
CAUTION
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right hand
corner of the fresh food compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap and
retain for later use.
2. Remove sealing label from end
of filter and insert into filter
head.
3. Rotate gently clockwise until
filter stops. Snap filter cover
closed.
4. Reduce water spurts by flushing
air from system. Run water
continuously for two minutes through dispenser
until water runs steady. During initial use, allow
about a one- to two-minute delay in water
dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some
households where water is of poor quality.
Replacing Water Filter
Important: Air trapped in system may cause
water and cartridge to eject. Always dispense
water for two minutes before removing the filter
for any reason. Use caution when removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from
filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in
normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue
with
Initial Installation, steps 2 and 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
Important: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water
use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement
may need to take place more often.

contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 USA or
