Changing the Filter
Locating the Filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with water
filtering system. The water filter system filters
all dispensed drinking water, as well as the
water used to produce ice.
Water Filter
The water filter is located at the top right
side of the fresh food compartment.
Replaclncj the Water Filter
In general, you should change the water
filter every six months to ensure the highest
possible water quality. Water Filter Status
on the user interface prompts you to replace
the filter after a standard amount of water
(200 gallons/757 liters for Kenmorepure]
TM)
has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used
for a period of time (during moving
for example), change the filter before
reinstalling the refrigerator.
Ordering Replacement Filters
To order your replacement filters, please
visit the dealer where you purchased your

order extra filters when you first install your
refrigerator, and that you replace your filters
at least once every six months.

It is not necessary to turn the water supply
off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up
any small amounts of water released during
the filter replacement.
1. Turn Off the ice maker power switch.
2. Remove the filter by pushing on the end/
face of the filter.
3. Slide the old water filter cartridge straight
out of the housing and discard it.
4. Unpackage the new filter cartridge. Using
the alignment guide, slide it gently into the
filter housing until it stops against the snap-
in connector at the back of the housing.
5. Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into
place (you should hear a click as the
cartridge engages the snap-in connector).
6. Pressa drinking glass against the water
dispenser while checking for any leaks at
the filter housing. Any spurts and sputters
that occur as the system purges air out of
the dispenser system are normal.
7. After filling one glass of water, continue
flushing the system for about four minutes.
8. Turn On the ice maker.
9. Press and hold the Water Filter button on
the Ice & Water Dispenser control panel
