If you purchased a refrigerator with a
PureSource2
TM *
Ice and Water front filter, please read the following use
and care information. This ice and water filter system
filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is
located in the upper right front corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
Changing the Filter:
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the
water filter every 6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest
possible water quality. Ice jams in the ice maker and/or
hollow ice cubes (partially frozen cubes with water inside),
may also be a sign that your water filter needs changing.
The Filter Status light will turn red after approximately 400
gallons of water has flowed through the ice and water dispenser.

Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not
use ice and water dispenser while installing filter.
The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter
housing at the factory. Refer to the
How to Prime the Water
Supply System
section to properly fill the system with water.
Order new filter
cartridges through the
dealer where you
bought the refrigerator,
contact the
Electrolux

The

cartridge FC 100 is tested and certified by
NSF International, the nationally recognized
and respected, not for profit, certification
organization for public health safety. The

after traveling through the filtration system.
• Rated Capacity - 400 gallons
• Rated service flow - .5 GPM
• Maximum Rated Pressure - 100 PSI
• Maximum Operating Temp. - 100° F
Also, if the filter has been in a refrigerator that has not been in
use for awhile (during moving for example), change the filter
before reinstalling the refrigerator. The dispenser system will also
operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed and bypass
installed).
To change filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the
filter.
1. Turn OFF side mounted ice maker by raising wire signal
arm to the UP position. Turn OFF rear mounted ice maker
by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the “O” position.
2. Push the
Filter Release Button
, located to the right of the
filter cartridge, to release the filter from the housing. To
minimize the possibility of the filter falling out of the
housing during removal, it would be best to hold the
filter as it moves out toward you.

A small amount of water may be released during this
operation. You should have a paper towel or dish cloth
handy to wipe up any water that may drip out of the filter or
housing. Two small holes near the back of the housing have
been added for any excess water to escape. It would be
best to clear away any food near this area on the top shelf
in advance of removing the filter.
3. Pull the old filter cartridge straight out of the housing.
4. Discard the old filter.
5. Remove the new filter cartridge from the packaging and
insert into the filter housing the same way the old one
came out.
6. When the cartridge is almost in, you will feel it stop against
the clip assembly in the back of the housing. The clip
assembly holds the filter cartridge firmly in place. At this
point, you will need to push firmly until the cartridge
snaps fully in place. When completely in place, the front of
the filter cartridge will be flush with the front of the housing.
7. Turn ON side mounted ice maker by lowering wire signal
arm to the DOWN position. Turn ON rear mounted ice
maker by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the “I”
position.
8. Fill a glass with water. As you are doing this, check for
leaks at the filter housing.
9. To prime filter system and purge air from water line,
continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes
to assure that the purest water possible is stored in the
water tank. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters
as the system pushes air out through the system and
out the dispenser nozzle. This is normal.
