FILTER
It is recommended that you replace the filter
approximately every 6 months,
when the water filter indicator
(
) turns on, or when the
ice and water dispenser
noticeably decreases output.
NOTE: Turn the shutoff valve
off (house valve), before
changing the water filter.
1. Remove the old filter.
• Press the push button to
open the filter cover.
NOTE: Replacing the filter
causes a small amount of
water (around 1 oz. or
25 cc) to drain. Place a cup under the filter hole to
catch any waste.
• Pull the filter downward
untill it stops and pull out.
2. Replace with a new filter.
• Take the new filter out of its packaging and
remove the protective cover from the o-rings.
FILTER
With filter "tabs" in the horizontal position, push
the new filter
into the
manifold hole
until it stops.
• Firmly lock in the filter.
The cover will click back into
place.
3. After replacing the filter, turn on the water valve
and flush 2.5 gallons through filter before use
(flush for approximately 5 minutes, depressing
and releasing the dispenser pad for cycles of
30 seconds ON, 60 seconds OFF) and check the
filter for leaks.
To reset the water filter status display and
indicator light, press and hold the Ultra Ice (Fliter
Reset) button for at least 3 seconds.
