Replacing the Water Filter
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
Replace the water filter with Dacor part number AFF6.
The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to
remove the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the filter cap.
NOTES:
Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because this
could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs, replace the
cap and pull the filter straight out.
There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Place the cap (removed in Step 2) on the new filter. Align
the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the filter. Turn the cap
clockwise until it snaps into place.
4. Remove the covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are
still in place after the covers are removed.
5. Push the new filter into the opening in the base grille. As the
filter is inserted, the eject button will depress. The eject button
will pop back out when the filter is fully engaged.
6. Pull gently on the cap to check that the filter is securely in
place.
7. Flush the water system. See Water and Ice Dispensers on
page 6.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter
You can operate the ice maker without a water filter. Your ice will
not be filtered.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling on
the cap. See Replacing the Water Filter earlier in this section.
2. Remove the filter cap by turning it counterclockwise until it
stops. IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep it for future use.
3. With the cap in a horizontal position, insert the cap into the
base grille until it stops.
4. Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the
attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a
horizontal position.
NOTE: The cap will not be even with the base grille.
