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.
IMPORTANT:
• The water filter should be replaced when the Replace status
light is lit or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser
or ice maker decreases noticeably.
• Air trapped in the system may cause water and the water
filter to eject. Dispense water for 2 minutes before removing
the used water filter.
Replacing the Water Filter
The water filter mounting bracket is located on the right side of
the refrigerator compartment.
1. Turn the used water filter counterclockwise until it releases
from the filter mounting bracket.
2. Drain water from the water filter into the sink, and discard the
used water filter. Wipe up the excess water in the filter cover.
3. Remove the sealing label from the end of the new water filter
and insert the water filter into the filter mounting bracket.
Gently rotate the water filter clockwise until it stops, and snap
the filter cover closed.
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
the water filter. When the Replace light is on, a new water filter
should be installed.
After replacing the water filter, press and hold FILTER RESET for
3 seconds until the Replace light turns off. See "Using the
Controls."
Non-Indicator Water Filter
If your refrigerator does not have a water filter status light, you
should change the water filter every 6 months depending on your
usage. If the water flow to the dispenser or ice maker decreases
noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter
more often.
4. Flush the water system. See "Water System Preparation."
5. Inspect the water filter system for leaks. If you see water
leaks, see "Troubleshooting."
Using the Dispenser Without a Water Filter
You can use the water dispenser without a water filter, but your
water will not be filtered. If you choose this option, replace the
water filter with the blue bypass cap.
