may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
Water Filter Status Light
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter.
When the dispenser control panel's water filter status display
changes to "ORDER," this tells you that it is almost time to
change the water filter cartridge.

Replace the water filter cartridge when the water filter status
display changes to "REPLACE."
NOTE: If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter
should be replaced at least every 6 months, depending on
your water quality and usage.
Resetting the Filter Status
After changing the water filter, reset the status light by
pressing and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds.
When the system is reset, the "ORDER" and "REPLACE"
icons will disappear from the display screen.
