About the water filter.
Water Filter Cartridge (on some models)
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 dispenser. 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.
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, place the top of the
new cartridge up inside the holder. Do not
push it up into the holder.
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter
cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As
you turn the cartridge, it will automatically
raise itself into position. Cartridge will
rotate about 1/4 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for
3 minutes (about six liters) to clear
the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER
pad on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may
cause water to spurt from the dispenser.
In-Line Filter (on some models)
Installation instructions for the in-line filter can
be found inside the in-line filter kit, supplied
with the refrigerator.
The built-in water filter will require replacing
approximately once a year. The in-line filter
will require replacing approximately every
6 months, depending upon water dispenser/
icemaker usage.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available.
The dispenser and the icemaker will not
operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
