Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first
remove the old one by slowly turning
it counterclockwise. 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.
Lining up the arrow on the cartridge
and the cartridge holder, place the top
of the new cartridge up inside the holder.
Do not push it up into the holder. Slowly
rotate the cartridge clockwise until it
stops. As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position.
Cartridge will rotate about 1/4 turn.
Do not overtighten.
Press and hold the ICE & WATER pad for
3 seconds to reset the filter.
Run water from the dispenser for
3 minutes (about 1
1
⁄2 gallons) to clear
the system and prevent sputtering.

cartridge may cause water to spurt
from the dispenser.
