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.
