Water filter removal and installation
WARNING!
Poisoning Hazard
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use the refrigerator where water is
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
use of filter.
Failure to do so can result in death or injury to persons.
Important!
After installing a new water filter, always dispense water for two minutes before removing the
filter for any reason. Air trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution
when removing.
The bypass cap does not filter water when fitted. 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 the water system has not been used for several months, or water has an unpleasant taste or
odor, flush system by dispensing water for two to three minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor
persists, change filter cartridge.
Initial installation
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the fresh
food compartment.

5
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.
