Replacing the Water Filter
It is recommended that you replace the filter
when the water filter indicator light turns on
or the water dispenser or icemaker noticeably
decreases production.
NOTE
Filter Bypass Plug
Keep the filter bypass plug.
You must use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available.
The icemaker will not operate without the
filter or filter bypass plug inserted in the
proper compartment.
1 Slowly turn the old cartridge to the left.
When the cartridge is released, you will
feel it click out of place.
NOTE: Replacing the filter causes a small amount
of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain.
2 Remove the old cartridge. Take the new
cartridge out of its packaging, and remove
the red cap. Line up the cartridge ears so
that it can be inserted into the filter head.

3 Twist the cartridge right about 1/4 turn.
You will feel a stop and the locked symbol
should now be lined up with the indicator
line.
After replacing the filter, flush 2.5 gallons
(9 litters) through filter before use (flush for
approximately 5 minutes). Check the filter for
leaks.
After changing the filter, press and hold
the FILTER button for 3 seconds to turn
the indicator light off.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate refrigerator without
water filter or water filter plug installed.
