Water Filter Indicator; Water Filtration System - KitchenAid KBLS36FTX Use & Care Manual

Water Filter Indicator

The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will help
you know when to change the water filter.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in
the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement
water filter should be ordered when "Order Filter" is displayed. It
is recommended that you replace the filter when "Change Filter"
is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or
icemaker decreases noticeably. See "Changing the Water Filter"
later in this section.
After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for
2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.

Water Filtration System

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
Changing the Water Filter
The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille
to remove the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the filter cap.
NOTES:
Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because
this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs,
replace the cap and pull the filter straight out.
There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.
