Water Filter Indicator

The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will help
you know when to change the water filter.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in
the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement
water filter should be ordered when "Order Filter" is displayed. It
is recommended that you replace the filter when "Change Filter"
is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or
icemaker decreases noticeably. See "Changing the Water Filter"
later in this section.
After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for
2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.

Water Filtration System

NOTE: 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.

1. Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the
cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
