Water Filter Status Light; Water Filtration System - Kenmore 106.5022 Series Use & Care Manual

Water Filter Status Light

(on some models)
The water filter status light will help you know when to change your
water filter.
When the status light changes from green to yellow, this tells
you that it is almost time to change the water filter.
It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status
light changes to red OR when water flow to your water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.
The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on
your water quality and usage. To change the filter, see "Water
Filtration System."
INDICATOR:
GOOD (green)
ORDER (yellow)
REPLACE (red) OR
when water flow decreases
After changing the water filter, reset the status light by pressing
and holding the RESET button for 2 seconds. The status light will
change from Replace (red) to Good (green) when the system is
reset.

Water Filtration System

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
