Water Filter Cartridge
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
temperature display. 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 counterclockwise. A small
amount of water may drip down.
CAUTION:
If air has been trapped
in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as
it is removed. Use caution when removing.
Remove the protective foil from the
end of the cartridge.
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 rotate the cartridge
clockwise until it stops. As you turn
the cartridge, it will automatically
raise itself into position. Cartridge
will rotate about 1/4 turn. Do not
overtighten.
Run water from the dispenser for
3 minutes (about 1
1
⁄
gallons) to clear
2
the system and prevent sputtering.
See To Use the Dispenser section.
Press and hold the ICE & WATER pad
for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly installed water filter
cartridge may cause water to spurt from
the dispenser.
