About the water filter cartridge.

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right
corner of the refrigerator compartment.
When to Replace the Filter on Models With a
Replacement Indicator Light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser. 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.
When to Replace the Filter on Models Without a
Replacement Indicator Light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months
or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or
icemaker decreases.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one
by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the
cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing a
SmartWater cartridge
with an adapter, it must
be removed before
installing the cartridge.
To remove the adapter,
turn it to the left about
1/4 turn.
If you are replacing a
Water by Culligan cartridge,
leave the adapter in place. This adapter will stay in the
refrigerator when you replace future cartridges.
On models without a replacement indicator light,
apply the month and year sticker to the new cartridge
to remind you to replace the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap
to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately
after installation.
About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.

Automatic Icemaker
(on some models)
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the I (on) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when
it cools to 15°F. When the bin fills to the
level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will
stop producing ice.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
(On some models.)
Line 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 turn it to the right
until the filter cartridge
stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it
will automatically raise itself
into position. The cartridge
will move about 1/2 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 1-1/2
gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker
will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
