Water Filter
Water Filter Removal and
Installation (select models)
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use
refrigerator where water is unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after
use of filter.
WARNING
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. 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 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.
CAUTION
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand
corner of the fresh food compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap and
retain for later use.
2. Remove sealing label from
end of filter and insert into
filter head.
3. Rotate gently clockwise until
filter stops. Snap filter cover
closed.
4. 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.
Replacing Water Filter
Important: Air trapped in system may cause water
and cartridge to eject. Use caution when
removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from
filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in
normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue
with Initial Installation, steps 2 and 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
Important: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water
use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement
may need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge,
contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 USA or
1-800-688-8408 Canada.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water
filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter
with blue bypass cap.
