WATER FILTRATION AND MONITORING
SYSTEM (ON SOME MODELS)
The water filter indicator light
The water filter indicator light indicates when to change the
water filter cartridge. The light is located on the control
panel. When the light changes from green to yellow, this
means that it is almost time to change the water filter
cartridge (90% of the filter life has been used). The water
filter cartridge should be replaced when the water filter
indicator light changes to red. Or when water flow to your
water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably (See
“Changing a water filter cartridge” later in this section).
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter
indicator light by pressing the corresponding switch for 3
seconds.
The indicator light will change from red to green when the
system is reset.
Changing a water filter cartridge
The water filter is located below the freezer compartment
door.
1
Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille
below the freezer compartment door. Rotate the cap
counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
and filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE
: Since the cartridge contains water, some spilling may
occur.
2
Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the
old cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right. DO
NOT DISCARD THE CAP.
3
Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove
the protective cover from the o-rings.
4
Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge as shown.
5
With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new
filter cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the
cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position.
6
RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE
WATER RUNS CLEAR (about 9-14 litres or 6-7 minutes).
This will clean the system and clear air from the lines.
NOTE
: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt
out of the dispenser.
Ordering replacement filters
To order more water filter cartridges, contact an authorized
