All the water supplied to your refrigerator is filtered through a filter cartridge, this helps
remove unwanted impurities and is located behind the kickstrip grille. To maintain water
quality we recommend replacing the filter cartridge every 6 months.
Note: the unit will not dispense water or ice if the filter is not fitted.
When the filter cartridge requires replacing, the filter change icon
●
●
the internal control panel and/or external display. The icon will flash as a reminder on
the external display whenever water is dispensed.
Replacement filter cartridges (part number: 81099) can be purchased online through
●
●
www.fisherpaykel.com or www.dcsappliances.com, or by calling the Customer Care Center.
IMPORTANT!
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use the water filter where water is unsafe or
●
●
of unknown quality.
If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace the filter cartridge
●
●
and flush the water system following the instructions on the previous page.

on the internal control panel and external display.
