Replacing the Water Filter

It is recommended that you replace the water
filter:
Ap proximately every six
months.
When the water filter
indicator turns on.

dispenser output

When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
1
Remove the old water filter.
Lower or remove the
top left shelf to allow the
water filter to rotate all
the way down.
Press the push button
to open the water filter
cover.
NOTE: Replacing the water filter causes a small
amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain.
Place a cup under the front end of the water
filter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold
the water filter upright, once it is removed, to
prevent any remaining water from spilling out of
the water filter.
Pull the water
filter downward and
pull out. Make sure to
rotate the filter down
completely before pulling
it out of the manifold
hole.
2
Replace with a new water filter.
Take the new water filter out of its packing
and remove the protective cover from
the o-rings. With water filter tabs in the
horizontal
position, push
the new water
filter into the
manifold hole
until it stops.
Rotate the water filter up
into position and close
the cover. The cover
will click when closed
correctly.
3
After the water filter is replaced,
dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for
approximately 5 minutes) to remove
trapped air and contaminates from the
system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5
gallon amount continuously. Depress and
release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30
seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
