Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the
back upper right corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
There is a replacement indicator light for the
water filter cartridge on the temperature
display. This light will turn orange to tell you
that you need to replace the filter soon. The
filter cartridge should be replaced when the
replacement indicator light turns red or if the
flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first
remove the old one by slowly turning it
to the left. DO NOT pull down on the
cartridge. A small amount of water may
drip down.
CAUTION: If air has been
trapped in the system, the filter cartridge may
be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when
removing.
Remove the protective foil from the end
of the cartridge.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water
from the tap to allow for better flow from
the dispenser immediately after
installation.
Lining up the arrow on the cartridge and
the cartridge holder, slowly rotate the
cartridge clockwise until it stops. When
the cartridge is properly installed, you will
feel it “click” as it locks into place. Do not
overtighten.
Run water 1
1
⁄2 gallons from the dispenser
to clear the system and prevent
sputtering. See To Use the Dispenser
section.
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER
pad for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge
may cause water to spurt from the
dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available.
The icemaker will not operate without the
filter or filter bypass plug.
