About the water filter.
On some models
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right
corner of the refrigerator compartment.
When to Replace the Filter on Models Without
a Replacement Indicator Light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months
or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or
icemaker decreases.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old
one by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down
on the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing a SmartWater cartridge with
an adapter, it must be removed before installing
the cartridge. To remove the adapter, turn it
to the left about 1/4 turn.
With Adapter
(appearance may vary)
On models without a replacement indicator light,
apply the month and year sticker to the new cartridge
to remind you to replace the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to
allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after
installation.
Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge
holder. Place the top of the new cartridge up inside the
holder. Do not push it up into the holder.

Holder
Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 1-1/2
gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the WATER FILTER pad (on some models)
on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause
water to spurt from the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will
not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
