Forthe maximum benefit of your filtration system. GE
recommends the use of GE branded SmartWater filters only.
Using GEbranded filters in GEand 4otpoint refrigerators provides
optimal performance and reliability. GE branded SmartWater
filters are always the right choice because they are patented and
designed specifically for GE products. GE SmartWater filters
meet rigorous industry NSFstandards for safety and quality that
are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has
not qualified non-GE branded filters for use in GEand Hotpoint
refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE branded
filters meet GE'sstandards for quality, performance and
reliability.
