Water filter
All the water to your refrigerator is filtered to remove impurities through a cartridge located in
a position of your choice outside the refrigerator. This will need changing approximately every
6months.
There is a replacement indicator icon on the control panel which will appear when the filter
needs replacing. It will flash, as a reminder, when water is dispensed.
Replacement cartridges are available from your authorised Fisher & Paykel Dealer. The details of
the replacement cartridge are on the label on the cartridge.

isolating tap off.
