CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

IMPORTANT
• Always fit the filter as per
manufacturer's instructions.
• If you need to replace water tube, only use
approved water quality piping that meets the
pressure requirements.
• Make sure your refrigerator is level to avoid
uneven ice cubes.
• Replace filter at suggested intervals to avoid
water/ice reduction and irregularities in taste.
• Remove and clean ice bin once a month,
discarding unused ice cubes. This will ensure
fresh, clean ice and smooth operation of your
ice maker.
• Clean and empty the dispenser drip tray
regularly to avoid overflow.
WARNING
If you have not used the dispenser for some time,
discard the first seven or eight cups of water and
any ice that the ice maker produces in the first
24 hours (contaminants could have settled in the
water pipes).
Internal Water filter
The water filter is located at the top left side of the fresh
food compartment.
Replacing the water filter
You should change the water filter every six months to
ensure the highest possible water quality.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time
(during a house move for example), change the filter before
reinstalling the refrigerator.
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change
the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water
released during the filter replacement.
1. Ensure that the ice maker is turned off (Diagram 1).
2. Remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise 180˚.
3. Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the
housing and discard it. (Diagram 2).
4. Unwrap the new filter cartridge and using the
alignment guide, slide it gently into filter housing until
it stops against the filter connection at the back of the
housing. (Diagram 3).
5. Engage the filter by firmly rotating clockwise until
the filter snaps into position (once engaged the filter
cannot be rotated further). (Diagram 4).
6. Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser
while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any
spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges
air out of the dispenser system are normal.
7. After filling one glass of water, continue flushing the
system for about four minutes.
8. Turn on the ice maker. (Diagram 5).
9. When the filter has been replaced press and hold the
'Ice and Water' button for three seconds to reset the
filter replace timer.
