Initial Filter Cartridge Installation
1. Twist the cap of the filter bypass 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise (as viewed from the bottom) so the ears on
the plug can disengage. Remove the filter bypass
from the filter head apparatus.
Do Not dispose of this filter bypass. It should be
stored for future use, in the event that you choose to
use the water and ice dispenser without a filter.
2. Carefully remove the filter from its packaging.
3. Apply the month sticker to the cartridge as a
reminder to replace the filter within a year.
4. Remove the red cap from the filter.
5. Lubricate the O-ring with food grade vegetable oil.
6. Line up the cartridge ears so it can be inserted into the
filter head. The unlocked symbol will line up with
the indicator line that is molded into the light shield
area. Rotate the cartridge into the head. Twist the
cartridge 1/4 turn clockwise to lock it into place. You
will feel a stop and the locked symbol should now be
lined up with the indicator line.
7. Lower the icemaker wire lever arm into the down
(ON) position.
8. Dispense water through the dispenser for 10 minutes.
9. Carefully check for leaks.
Replacing the Filter Cartridge
1. Twist the filter cartridge 1/4 turn counterclockwise
(as viewed from the bottom) so that ears on the car-
tridge are able to disengage from the head. The
unlocked symbol will be lined up with the indicator
line that is molded into the light shield area. Twist
gently until the cartridge is free from the head, but
DO NOT pull. Avoid tipping the cartridge to prevent
spillage. Dispose of the used cartridge.
2. Carefully remove the replacement filter from its
packaging. (Read the label carefully to be sure you
have the correct replacement filter cartridge).
3. Follow steps 3 through 9 under Initial Filter Cartridge
Installation.
Note:
Filter life may be affected by abnormal feed
water conditions or unusual incidents such as hydrant
flushes, reservoir turnover or varying local water condi-
tions.
