Changing Water And Air Filters - Hearthland HCFDR23C User Instructions

Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and air
filtering systems. The water filter system filters all the water
used to produce ice. The air filter removes odors and impu-
rities from the refrigerator compartment.
NOTE
The control panel includes controls to monitor the
status of your water and air filters. See the Controls
section for more information.
About your advanced water filter
The filter system is tested and certi-
fied by NSF International to NSF/ANSI
Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction
of claims specified on the performance
data sheet.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or af-
ter the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be
used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Replacing your water filter
In general, you should change the water filter every six
months to ensure the highest possible water quality. The
Water Filter Status light on the Touch Panel prompts you
to replace the filter after the six month time period has
elapsed. The water filter status light on this model is not
performance tested or certified by NSF.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time
(during moving for example), change the filter before rein-
stalling the refrigerator.
CHANGING THE WATER AND AIR FILTERS
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. Push the filter release button above the cartridge to
disconnect it.
