About the water filter cartridge.

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner
of the refrigerator compartment.
When to Replace the Filter on Models With a
Replacement Indicator Light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge
on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell you that you
need to replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement
indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or
icemaker decreases.
When to Replace the Filter on Models Without a
Replacement Indicator Light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier
if the flow of water to the water dispenser or icemaker decreases.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by
slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge.
A small amount of water may drip down.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing a
SmartWater cartridge
with an adapter,
it must be removed
before installing the
cartridge. To remove
the adapter, turn it to
the left about 1/4 turn.
If you are replacing
a Water by Culligan cartridge, leave the adapter in place. This
adapter will stay in the refrigerator when you replace future
cartridges.
On models without a replacement indicator light, apply the
month and year sticker to the new cartridge to remind you to
replace the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to
allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after
installation.
Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder.
Place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do not
push it up into the holder.
