3. Run two gallons of water
through the cold water
dispenser (about 5 minutes)
to remove air from the
system. A newly installed
filter cartridge will cause water to spurt from the
dispenser. Use a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch
the water spray. DO NOT use the hot water dispenser
until all air is removed from the system.
4. Reset Filter Status message (non-touch screen models).
WARNING
Use of the hot water dispenser prior to purging air from the
system may result in spurting of hot water and lead to hot
water scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all
air from the system through the cold water dispenser prior
to using the hot water dispenser.
Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during
the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal
after first few minutes of dispensing.
FILTER BYPASS PLUG
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To
obtain a free bypass plug, call 800-GECARES, in Canada
call 800.561.3344. The dispenser and icemaker will
not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug
installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a
filter cartridge.
