Changing The Water and Air Filters

Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and
air filtering systems. The water filter system filters all
dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to
produce ice. The air filter removes odors and impurities
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 PureAdvantage
water filter system is tested and certified 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 after
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used
on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Replacing your PureAdvantage
In general, you should change the water filter every
six (6) months to ensure the highest possible water
quality. The Water Filter Status light on the Touch Panel
prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount
of water (400 gallons) has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of
time (during moving for example), change the filter
before reinstalling the refrigerator.
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 Turn Off the ice maker on the control panel.
2 Push the filter release button above the cartridge
to disconnect it.
3 Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of
the housing and discard it.

two (2) protective caps covering the inlet and exit
of the filter. Slide the filter gently into the housing
until it stops against the snap-in connector at the
back of the housing.
5 Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into
place (you should hear two clicks). When fully
engaged, the front of the filter cartridge should be
flush with the filter release button.

previously.

control panel for three (3) seconds. When the
display changes from Replace to Good, the
