The "Filter" light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give
you preparation time to get a new filter, the red light will come on just before the capacity of
the current filter runs out. Changing the filter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest
water from your refrigerator.
1. Take a new water filter and put a month indicator sticker(
The date on the sticker must be six months from the current date. For example, if you are
replacing the water filter in March, put the "SEP" (September) sticker on the filter to remind you to
replace in September. Normal filter life is about 6 months.
2. Remove the new filter's protective cap(
3. Position and insert the new filter into the cover filter.
Slowly turn the water filter clockwise to align with the printing mark on the cover, locking the filter
in position. Make sure to align the water filter label(
as illustrated. Remember, do not over-tighten.
4. After above steps, press and hold the Alarm / Hold 3 sec for Filter Reset button for 3 seconds
to reset the filter.
5. Lastly,Flush 3 gallons through filter before use (flush approximately 6 minutes) Make sure that water
flows clearly again before drinking.
Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly otherwise water may drip from the dispenser.
This means that there is still air in the line.
Do NOT use the water or ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line may become blocked.
