Water Filter - Kenmore 795.7248 Use & Care Manual

WATER FILTER

NOTE : This refrigerator does not require a fi lter bypass
plug when the fi lter is not in place.
It is recommended that you replace the water fi lter:
• Approximately every six months.
• When the water fi lter indicator turns on.
• When the water dispenser output decreases.
• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
1. Remove the old water fi lter.
• Lift up and remove the lower door bin. Swing
the right end of the water fi lter out of the
compartment and then grasp and rotate the fi lter
counterclockwise to remove it from the fi lter head.
NOTE: Replacing the water fi lter could cause a
small amount of water to drain. Place a cup
under the fi lter head to catch any water.

2. Replace with a new water fi lter.
• Insert the new fi lter into the fi lter head and rotate it
clockwise until the arrow on the new fi lter lines up with
the arrow on the fi lter head. Swing the fi lter back into
the compartment.
• Assemble the door bin.
3. After the water fi lter is replaced, dispense 2.5
gallons of water (fl ush for approximately 5 minutes)
to remove trapped air and contaminants from
the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon
amount continuously. Depress and release the
dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60
seconds OFF.
4. Press and hold the Water Filter button for 3 seconds
to reset the indicator.
CAUTION: Operating the refrigerator with a water
fi lter is recommended. However, no bypass fi lter plug
is necessary if there is no water fi lter installed.
NOTE: To purchase a replacement water fi lter, visit a
Sears store or call 1-800-4-MY-HOME
